    Should I buy new shocks?

    When I bought my 89 325i it came with lowering springs on it I am not sure what kind they are but the drop is perfect (I am guessing it's 2.5 maybe a little bit more) my problem is it rides like shit when I go over train tracks it bounces me so hard my seat belt locks up. Its still on stock shocks and they are blown so if I get new better shocks will my problem be some what fixed? I need help with this I don't know to much about suspension.
