Replacing front struts on ELC suspension

After reading through the recent threads regarding the system, I'm second guessing my decision on how exactly to get rid of my bouncey ride in my 95 PAU. I was originally planning on buying a set of assembled strut/springs from Autozone and swapping them in, but have now read too much that I may be completely sacrificing the Buick ride by doing so. I found that replacing the sagging springs in my similar mileage Camaro gave me a much tighter, but also more comfortable ride, despite the new springs being progressive rate and stiffer. I figured I could get the same effect from replacing not only the shock but the spring as well, not to mention I would love to avoid the PITA that is changing one part of a strut assembly. Is there an pre assembled replacement that will keep a similar ride to the FE1, or am I forced to replace only the shock to keep the ride quality?
