pring + stock shocks = how many miles left?

my stock shocks and spring has 45k miles in it. i'm planning to replace the spring with prodrives. how many more miles do you think my stockers handle? i don't race or autox, it's just for daily highway driving. i'm asking this since if it will only last for 5-10k, then i might get new shocks this early and get it installed all in one shot.

Thanks for any info.

I installed SPT springs with the OE struts at 38K, I have 67K on the car now and they have held up fine. SPT and Prodrive springs are pretty close in spring rate and drop (SPT Front 1.4" Rear 1.2" and Prodrive Front 1.5ish Rear 1ish). Spt's are a progressive spring and Prodrive are linear so if anything I would think the Prodrives would be better with the OE struts but don’t quote me on that.

BTW, I wish I would have went with Prodrives. IMO the drop is perfect.
