When to replace shocks?

Thinking about getting new Bilsteins for the front of my TD and was hoping you guys could help me justify it.

The car doesn't seem to bounce excessively, and it seems to pass the bumper-bouncing test. But man, does it lean a lot in the corners! I gotta hang onto that wheel or I'll be thrown out the window. Is this a sign that the shocks are going south, or is this how these cars always drive (only owned mine for 4-5 months)? Will new shocks help with this?

The car seems to have the OEM shocks on it still.
