Default Suspension???... help

hey guys i have a 95' 6spd... about a 1yr and half ago i decided to lower my car will the longer bolts in the back and new shimes in the front... i ended up just cutting off the old shimes in the front completly...over all my car sits more than 2inch lower, about 2fingers in the wheel gaps... The rode seems to have gotton worse which i expected... i think my shocks are shot... The ride now is very bumpy and not to mention when i hit dips in the road my cars seems to give alot meaning the car goes a great distance up and down...i believe the shocks were blisten (yellow)... so i was wondering what kind of shocks should i get to improve my ride... Or do u guys think is my springs as well... i am totally up for any sugestions...thanks guys... :cheers:

replacement bilsteins are the best, and you could have them custom valved for a softer ride. I would be surprised if your springs are shot after only 6-7 years.
