Default Ep3 Shocks

Hey guys, What shocks do you all run on your ep? After I lowered my ep on stock ones its like running over a deer everytime i hit a bump..In other words I believe my shocks are shot. . I was thinking of getting a camber kit and some control arms as well. Would this be worth it? what would you guys recommend?
Im no racer, Just want a smooth ride while having the clean look of a lowered ep3. Possible on a under $500 budget?

It depends upon what you want to do with your car and what your budget is. If your just going to use it for a DD I wouldn't do anything to drastic or expensive.

Sry for leaving that out. I drive about 250 miles a week between school/wifey and I'd like a smoother ride. So that i dont worry about the potholes so much haha
Budget is cheapest way to go without going ebay/shitty quality.

I've heard good things about the Koni Yellows. I personally don't have them so I couldn't tell you how they ride but I know lots of HT members talk about how good they are, especially for the value.
