GSXR 750 clutch plates

Springs are the same deal. If they are no longer the proper length (should be in the service manual) they "should" be replaced. As long as they aren't broken I don't think most people bother though.

It may involve a bit more down time, but it would probably be better to take the clutch apart now and figure out exactly what you are going to need. Really everything in the clutch, including the clutch basket, are "as needed" parts but you won't know what is needed until it is disassembled. Your clutch might not even be acting up due to worn plates. Your pressure plate may have uneven or not enough pressure due to broken springs and your plates may be fine.

Unless the bike serves as your only means of transportation take the clutch apart the next time you get the chance. Figure out what parts you do and don't need and place the order the next day.
