What else should I be replacing suspension wise? Everything is stock and has never been touched. New struts are going in along with the springs.

You're replacing all that NEEDS replaced. You could probably benefit from new polyurethane bushings, and if you're looking for other mods to do you would love a rear sway bar.

Are you going with OEM shocks?
I have poly sway bay bushings front & back and an Ultra Racing rear sway bar. Good setup with a very fun amount of off throttle oversteer. Still riding on stock shocks with GSi springs. But now that the chassis is a bit stiffer it's really noticeable when I switch back to my 185-60-14 winters from my 195-50-15 summers. The bigger sidewall is so squishy. And if you're looking to upgrade your tires in the summer, Yokohama S Drives are awesome.
