1) when did you buy the car? new, or used and if so at what mileage
2) has your ride changed from when you bought it
3) if no, then it is not your shocks; if yes, then its time to look at the parts to see if anything is worn or broken

You bought a ******* sports car it's never going to ride like a Lexus. I mean, it's a stock, automatic, convertible Z so its . .. really, not a sports car, but still.

ride quality is determined by spring rate, damping, whether those two things are matched, your tires, your alignment (to an extent), and the roads you're driving

You want a GOOD ride?
Put your Z in the garage and buy a ******* lexus

you want a BETTER ride than now?
get coilovers with soft rates from a reputable place that will match the damping to the rates. Fortune is pretty reliable. And stick to a decent sidewall tire

mainly, sell your car.
