A shock absorber's main purpose is not to provide/ensure 'ride quality', but is actually designed to ensure that you vehicle's tire remains in contact with the pavement at all times. A worn shock = erratic tire treadwear (cupping). I'm sure that it's the change in suspension (the new shorter/stiffer springs) which is what you're actually experiencing, and your OEM shocks are now not allowed to perform their intended job like they were initially designed to do.
I suggest going with
zilla's recommendations.
