I think you'd have to include the springs too. Because even if you hear about a good set of struts/shocks, it doesn't mean they are the right ones for the springs you get. The springs have to go with the shocks in their balance of the suspension.
EDIT - Also the proper way to get changes like these made are to either contact a moderator or start a thread in the Hot or Not forum (a sub forum of the AF General forum).
