Original Springs, 200,000 miles, Improvements?
Would I see much of an improvement if I replaced with OEM?
I changed the struts/shocks at 130K and saw a dramatic improvement. I will change the shocks again shortly, and was wondering if I should change the springs as well.
What else should I consider changing for a pampered daily driver?

Unless you've overloaded your springs and they sag now, getting new ones wont make a difference. If you have the regular OEM and install the IROC/WS6 springs, then yes, you'll notice a difference.
