If you are retro-fitting adjustable collars for the front springs, you will need to change the springs to a later model. IIRC, the earlier springs have an extra coil that will make the front end sit too high.
If you are strictly replacing the shocks and retro-fitting adjustable collars, by all means use your original springs
