if there not then it gets tricky

Springs are just, ahem, the springs. A full kit will contain uprated dampers as well. They should offer you slightly better performace, if your going for a bigger drop - i.e. 60mm+ - you should go for the full kit, cos it'll probably bugger the Vaux shox at the end of the day...
