If you wait too long then the techs may get a bit lax, the instructions will be ignored or in general they may get sloppy again.
Keep in mind though that the failure rate of the actual springs was very, very, very low and happened at lower mileages so if you have gone this long then why mess with things?
The only reason I even started looking into it is because I felt off late there is a sluggishness in the acceleration. Now, it maybe totally a placebo effect. Also, not to mention a rickety noise when on cold days I am just on clutch or the ever famous "crickety noise" when the engine is hot.
