It seems my stock rear strut(s) (mainly left) are beginning to go out..so I'm going to start looking around for replacements. What is the best thing to do, replace all 4 shocks, or just the rear 2? The fronts are perfectly fine. Also, should I be replacing my stock springs, or can I reuse them with new shocks? I don't really want to spend much money on this...as I'm not racing the car or anything. I'm looking at KYB GR-2's as the replacement shocks, they're not too expensive, under $200 shipped for 4 of them.

Just replace the rear 2 if you want to be cheap. If all four are under 200 then just get all four.

Is there any reason to replace the stock springs, do they wear out, or just the struts?

They may be sagging a little, but if the ride height is even I would leave them. Or if you want a lower stance you could replace them too. Tein S-techs are pretty cheap. With S-techs I would go with the AGX. So if you're looking to spend the least amount of money and you're okay with stock looks then go with the stock springs and the KYB GR-2.
