Default rear suspension

Hey guys. The rear shocks on my Sol sit about an in. or so lower than the front does. I know because of the wheel gap. Everytime i hit a pothole, it hits pretty hard, kind of if the suspension bottoms out. Does it in the front. I did the test where you push down on the car and it stops bouncing by the time u stand back. It was fine when i did that.

My take is, its time to change the shocks and springs on all 4. Should I stick to OEM or what? Im not looking for show, its my daily driver and dont want harsh ride. The most I'd drop it would be a inch or 2, just so i dont need a camber kit. So, what do u guys think is up with my car?

Blown shocks most likely.....

Can I suggest a cheap/effective setup?

KYB GR2 Shocks and Tein S-TECH springs...about a 2 inch drob, OEM ride quality, and a good set of aftermarket shocks
