What size are the wheels and what tires are you using. Also check your pressures.

Less sidewall=stiffer ride. There's not many ways around that whole "laws of physics" thing. You could get softer shocks/springs, but it will compromise handling. Try dropping your tire pressue a few psi like DONAIMIAN suggested. My 17's were riding a little rough but i dropped them down to 36 psi from 40 and it made a difference.

I'm running stock springs with Koni SA shocks on stock 16" wheels with 245/50 tires and the ride is about as smooth as you can expect to get from these cars

Keep in mind of course that my car is strictly a daily driver
