Default Replacment Shocks & Struts

When I bought my 2006 GT convertible, I remember reading that cars equipped with the 18" wheel option had specially calibrated shocks. Now that I have like 53K miles, I am starting to think of replacing the shocks & struts. I was looking at Bilstein, but I see no special parts for cars with 18" wheels. Are they needed?

I have Roush springs and Koni adjustable shocks/struts on my 2005 convertible and I'm very happy with the ride.

My stock were 17" but I've switched to 18x8.5 on front, 18x9.5 on back.
