what else should I change while replacing springs?

I intend to change my stock springs to maxspeeds within the next week or two. My Maxima currently has 139k on the odometer and I was wondering what else, if anything should I change while the springs are off the car? Despite the high mileage my suspension feels tight with no unusual noises. What do you think?

Shocks/struts. With 139k on them the ride is going to be rough.

STRUTS!! Get some illuminas. Stiffer springs with old stock struts will make for a terrible ride quality.

struts, if you cant afford illuminas, get the tokico HP. much cheaper, but better than stock.
