So I should do the springs too eh? I wasn't sure if that would be necessary or if the original factory springs could continue to be used. What about the mounts or any of the other hardware? Is there any need to replace those?

The vehicle was last aligned 2 1/2 years ago at 40K when I had new tires put on. I planned to get an alignment done immediately after replacing the struts and shocks.

FCP Euro carries the Bilstein B4s. Given their lifetime warranty, that option thus is very appealing. Besides, the B4s on all four corners is only $425.
Are you planning to have everything installed by an indy shop or yourself?

Replacing springs would be prudent due to mileage and labor costs savings.
