Default Shock and Spring install, what else should be replaced.

I have deciede to replace my aging shocks and springs, with Bilstein sports and vogtland club specs. During the installation process should anything else be replaced while I have the suspension torn apart? like replacing the water pump when doing your timing belt. Thank you.

Default strut mounts

I don't have any clunking from my suspension now, but would it be worth it to replace the strut mounts. I notice PureMS and ECS both sell them. Are they for the fronts only?
