How to improve CX-5 stock suspension?

[Johnny_CX5]

Has anyone used these struts and shocks - or something similar - to improve the bounce and roll of the stock suspension? My CX-5 feels like a Conestoga wagon on rough roads/slow speeds.

@N7turbo got everything installed and ended up going with B6 shocks and these rear bump stops. Smooth ride and cornering is great.

Found this BMW x5 33536773060 bumpstop was the perfect height (90mm for Prokit springs and B6 vs 120mm factory rear bumpstop) and it’s PUR foam for progressive engagement.

The base was slightly oversize poly I shaped to match the factory bump stop and snapped them into the factory mounts. So far it’s working great, no noise over bumps, and great cornering along with new RSB and rear camber arm.View attachment 379770
