The "chatter" is because the tires are bouncing; weak shocks. It is more involved than just shocks - lots of suspension threads on this site.

Maybe avoid potholes and uneven pavement by looking ahead??

In all seriousness, you are likely to spend just as much on a new set of tires/wheels for your 18" setup, than you would for a very decent set of coilovers. Decently valved coilovers, combined with a properly aligned car, will do wonders and provide you with options down the road to run pretty aggressive wheel/tire combos.
