If it was up to me, I would put OME struts in the front (much more travel) and ome rear shocks in it.

The only other "long" strut for the front are by tough dog but these are too long to work without bumpstop spacers and the valving is not as good.

Bear in mind though GV springs are designed for a much heavier car so the ride will be harsher regardless of the shocks.
