Pon cam type R upgrade

So i'm thinking about upgrading from my stock cams to tomei pon cam 270, is it worthwhile for while i'm doing that to do my valve springs to?
I know pon cams are designed as a "drop in" sort of thing, however, in a car that is 14 years old (it's only done 92 thousand km) thats has more than likely done it's share of hard driving, i think it would be good to cover valve springs.

Thank you in advance for your answers.

I would do it for peace of mind. Metal fatigues with age, and valve springs are no exception. Being proactive now could save you floating a valve later on, which can lead to major issues.

Thanks for your answer, i was always inclined to changing them for the same reason. it's not really something i would like to go back to.
