I rebuild the levers on my two campy-equipped bikes about once every 2
years. It's a little difficult the first time, but after that it's
really not bad at all. I'd highly recommend doing it, as it's a ton
cheaper than buying new levers. Also when you're done, your levers
feel like new ones! So even if it's not needed to replace the springs
every now and then, it's still nice to do. The first time I replaced
the shift cam, but now I only do the springs. It's not necessary to
replace the shift cam, but if you do your warm and fuzzy feeling when
you're done is a little warmer and fuzzier. But that's all.
Chances are you only need to replace the springs. Branford Bike sells
the springs (and pretty much all of the other parts). Here is a good
place to start on their web site:

As mentioned in an earlier post, the yellow jersey bike shop has a
manual for the rebuilding process:
http://www.yellowjersey.org/ergo1.html
I'd also recommend buying the ergo rebuild manual (Branford bike has
it) as it's different than the yellow jersey manual, and the first
time you do this the more help you've got the better off you are.
