   You wont necessarily NEED to, but it is hugely advisable to at 60mm as you're pretty much guaranteed to want to after a few months on standard shocks and a less than satisfactory ride.
   
   Its worth saving the extra pennies anyway

   shocks are dampers.

   Yeah, you are always best to do the lot given the work involved anyway.
