That has more to do with the reduction in ride height height, corresponding reduced wheel travel, along with a stiffer spring rate, than it does with the shock.
The OP could put decarbons back on. However, Bilsteins are a good quality shock that will accommodate ride quality as much as performance.

This is what I can think of:
- Go with bilsteins shocks.
- Make sure you're using rubber bushings in all bushing locations.
- Be sure your rubber bushings are in good shape.
- Remove the aluminum spacers from the bump stops in the rear if you have them.
- Run a narrower tire (245 or 255 all the way around, even narrower if you go with 16" wheel).
- if your willing, down size to a 16" wheel, if you're running 17" wheel, the extra sidewall will help absorb bumps.
- Check your tire pressure, keep it at not more than 30psi.
- Go with the most comfortable and quietest tire you can.
