How do you know when you have to replace STOCK springs?

Just wondering...

It's starting to look more and more like my stock struts are messed, so I'm wondering when you have to replace the springs (and how you can tell they should be replaced.)

Besides the usual "when you want a lower stance" remark

Looking to maintain stock height.

The springs should pretty much last the lifetime of the car... (most of the sagging people complain about is ushually a blown shock issue).
