One of my rear shocks is shot so Warranty is coughing up for 2 new rear shock no quibble which made me happy but at 55K it does mean I will have to fork out for the front shocks too unexpectedly my question is should I really do the springs too?

bit higher miles I would do it no question but I just want to know if it is a bit unnecessary.

I am not a skimper on car by a long shot but have to fork out for my Singapore GP and Ibiza trips this month not to mention various bits on the house going needing attention

When mind were done under warranty, both on my B7 and the B8, they just replaced the defective shocks. Admittedly the mileage was less than yours, but I see no reason to replace the fronts shocks, or the springs unless they are defective.
