    I know the rear OEM leaf springs can get worn out, but how easy/common is it to wear out the OEM coil springs up front?

    Springs wear out over time, regardless of style.

    If your original rear springs are worn out, would you automatically assume that your original front coils are also toast?

    After careful consideration, I have decided to replace the original coil springs with a new set.

    Better safe than sorry.
