Don't have experience with the springs, but yes change the shocks too.

Default They're good springs, and yes replace the shocks too.

Albeit, they are a touch on the heavy side compared to our Vogtland springs, they are a good spring.

Default If I had to do it all over again, I'd go w/ Koni shocks. When I was running 17" BBS CHs w/ Conti.

Sport Contact 2 tires on my Bilstein sport shocks, the ride was pretty uncomfortable on rough roads. At the moment I'm running on my original 15" wheels, and the ride is much smoother/better because of the taller and softer sidewalls. So if you're going to be running on upsized wheels and or stiffer tires, I'd recommend the Konis.
