leaking strut, what to do...

One of my rear struts is seeping and I need to do a repair. The car is a '99 and has 144k km (89k miles) and, as far as I know, the suspension is all original.

ROW M030 kit is not an option I'm considering. The last thing I need to do is lower the car and I'm sure anyone who has experienced Winnipeg roads will agree. Further, this would make the cost of the repair unacceptably high as the kit and installatio would be around $4k by the time I was done.

The car was recently inspected at the dealership prior to a track day and the rest of the suspension was deemed good. I may or may not ever do another track day, but I corner quickly. I have always been quite happy with the handling of the car and I'm not looking to "upgrade". Stock handling is plenty good enough for me.

At minimum I will replace all four struts. My question is, given the above statements, should I also replace the springs or should they still be ok? Are there other parts that, at this mileage and age, should be replaced with said replacement resulting in a significant and noticeable difference?
