Is there an expected life span for standard springs for a road going Sprite?
I'm sure mine are original, so I'm wondering if I should consider replacing
them as I put on the newly rebuilt shocks when I convert to discs this
summer.

I also bet springs are fine, have the front shocks rebuilt by Peter C. Both of
them. Will not have to be done for another 50 years.
