Default Problem with my suspension.

I have a 98' Trans am with a little over 66K miles. For the past year or so I have noticed that my ride quality had become very rough and kept getting worse. I recently put new lowering springs on my car and I guess since I just added a fresh set of springs I notice that the ride quality had improved a lot and wasn't as stiff. I am still having problems with the suspension, when I hit bumps ect., It literatlly will beat the hell out of you and it sounds a little bit loose and I can hear some squeeking in the driver side back suspension when pressure is applied. I was wondering if I bought a new set of shocks if that could help out any? I still have the factory 98' shocks and they are probably about worn out. If anyone who has any experience or knowlege could give me some advice, I'd appeciate it. Thanks.

Shocks are a good start. But you will want to upgrade to something better than the decarbons (stock).

I was thinking about Bilstein's, Maybe.
