When I replace strut, should I replace other parts?

My OEM shocks are dead, so I ordered front and rear KYB struts.
I'll order a new OEM strut mount(front and rear)

I'm planning to replace all of them this month, but I'm not sure if I should replace other parts of the shocks.
The parts are,

6,7,8,9,10,11,12 (Front)


1,8,11,12,13,14 (Rear)

Also if I order these parts, the price will be more than $200 (I need to calculate the exact price. Sorry).
When I replace the strut, do you recommend replacing only strut and strut mount? or should I replace all the parts?

So, Could you guys give me some advice for the replacement strut?

Unless there are rubber parts in there (and I don't see any from the diagram), I wouldn't see the need to replace anything else. You will notice a big improvement when you replace the struts, though. I've got KYB's and I really like them.

Thank you for your reply!
Some people say that the replacement of some parts will be better when I replace the struts.
For example, https://www.amayama.com/en/part/honda/51686sja003
This rubber may be needed to be replaced.
What do you think?
Just replacing strut is fine without any other else?

I would just get new bump stops, they'll most likely be crumbled by now. Usually you won''t need anything else unless you live in the rust belt.
