Question ??...Need shocks for better ride...after lowering

Please advise.......I've installed Neuspeed sport springs (1.5" f, 1" r) while keeping the 17s" OEM tires.

The handling is much improved and the look is sportier. However, the ride is harsher and the the dips and bumps are more noticable - to the point of feeling airborne at freeway speeds for dips.

Can anyone suggest steps on how to tweek the shocks to compensate the bounce? New shocks? Or adjusts OEM shocks?
Thanks all.

OEM shocks are not adjustable. I would think the harshness in your ride is from the spring itself, you didn't really lower your car that much. Some springs will lower up to 2 inches, if not more. Replacing the shocks will help a little, but if you're not used to riding in a lowered car, it's not gonna make that big a difference.

Thanks for your input.....

Any improvement should help since the bounce can cause a total disruption while drinking coffee and to minimize the airbourne effect.

How do I go about finding the proper shocks?
Thanks.

I think the only aftermarket shocks available right now are Konis...I could be wrong. Try tirerack.com and see what they got.
