How much are you lowered and what springs/oilovers are you using? Those procomp shocks may help but it depends on how much you are lowered. However from their price I don't know if they will be much better than stock.

There is your problem...4 inhes down is too low to have a good ride.

There is atradeoff between ride height and ride comfort. Pretty much anything short of an air ride system is going to have a really rough ride.
