Default 2005 Altima - Replacing STRUTS SHOCKS

My shocks need to be changed and i'll be doing the job myself. I have opted to replace the stock 2005 Nissan Altima OEM Tokico's with KYB GR2 shocks.

My questions:

1. I'm planning on just replacing the shocks, to restore the smooth ride quality, is it recommended i also replacing the springs, do they ever wear out?

2. Do i need to perform an alignment once the installation is complete?

Any other helpful tips or tricks from you Nissan Techs is greatly appreciated. I'm not a mechanic or specialized in anyway, i started doing my own work on my car just last year, and after replacing the water pump a few weeks ago, i feel invisible, like i could take on any task lol.

P.S Any Diagrams, how-to's etc..., just send them my way.
