happy to help!!
great question on the spring and not one I've ever considered ... I would imagine they can take a LOT of changes but I would just keep an eye on on them... if they seem like they don't put any friction on the pins and you can easily slide them out, or the pads aren't being held in place of change em... seems like there is very little deformation during the pad change. hopefully someone with a mechanic background will chime in but for me I would think a non-issue for a decade (I'm a dentist tho so take my thoughts with a grain of salt ha!)
