Like any other part, they are expendable over time same as tires and shocks.
You will replace most tires sooner than coils with their higher cost and think nohing of it , discounting exceptions to that like anything else.
Good luck.

I think this is the best I have ever heard someone explain the cost of the OEM coils. Well done sir!

I could not agree more with this post!
