the whole point in upgrading suspension is to match it to your weight. so new springs are a must have.

unless they are supplying the correct oil for the kit with the correct springs then things can get a little complicated with drop in cartridge kits. its the oil viscosity that control's the dampening and this is dependant on the spring rate. dampening is the control of the rate the spring is allowed to move in an up and down motion.
