Well, here's the thing. I would not recommend to just do shocks, because any performance-oriented shocks are going to have more aggressive damping, and they will basically overpower your springs, your suspension will be heavily overdamped. I don't think you'll be happy.
I think many will agree that you should research some springs and shocks. Decide how low a drop you want, how much stiffness you want, and then try to match your desired springs to the struts.
Or...
Buy coilovers, which are like a spring and a strut all in one.
Basically, make sure your setup reflects best practices, do not try to cut corners or save money, it simply does not work.
I hope this was helpful! (yippy)

I actually do not own a Mazda 3, hehe, but you cannot go wrong with Tein SS generally.
Use the search to perhaps turn up some info about different setups that people are running! (cool)
