As a matter of preference and experience(from racing mx, which is not even close to being the same as riding on the street) I recommend replacing the friction and steel plates at the same time. The srpings should be ok, but you could also replace them as well. When I replace a clutch, I usually do the whole thing so I don't have to tear into it again in the near future because it starts to slip again or feels weak.
Lgn: As for soaking the friction plates, I do not recall doing so, but I think it would reduce excessive wear on the first start up after the change. However, when you put oil back in the bike, the oil does run over part, but not all, of the clutch basket.
