I don't know if mileage alone is a reason to swap factory shocks.

Having read that factory shocks need to be replaced at 100k, I had
them tested at 110k by PitStop. According to their computer
they were at something like 90% and 85% of original (can't remember
which was front and which was rear).

So I'm not sure if they fail suddenly or if the life expectancy is
going to continue to decrease at a similar rate (about 1-2% per year).

Keep in mind that Koni's are a great improvement over new stock shocks as
well.
