Ohlins is the best shock -- I'm assuming that's the right model, but I don't know. If you want to get a different spring for your weight/riding style, may I suggest Stig Peterson at ppsracing.com -- he'll probably swap you for the stocker.

Installing a replacement shock is not exactly trivial, but it won't kill you if you're used to doing your own wrenching (I wouldn't do it, personally -- I don't have a good work area). Check the service manual online here -- see sticky message.

Your ride and road holding will definitely improve, but the stock suspension isn't all that bad once it's set up correctly.
The little Ohlins manual that comes with the shock should be on the money for setting up preload, damping, etc.

Oh, and no matter what, KEEP THE C-WRENCH that they gave you somewhere on the bike (rather, that they should have given you). It's very useful, and even works well on the stocker's preload collars.
