Suspension woes

I recently bought a 2003 Sentra GXE to get me throught the winter months up here. I don't know what engineer tuned the front suspensions on these things but he/she should be shot. I've driven gokarts that have softer rides. The 2000 Civic Si I had before this was also a much smoother ride. Does anyone know where I can find adjustable dampers? If so me & my kidneys would appreciate it.

you think the gxe has a stiff ride?? damn...
there are no adjustable dampers out right now, I don't know what to tell ya. I thought my SE had soft springs, but they are much stiffer than the gxe's

I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion about my suspension problem. On the highway it does have a cushy ride. Its when I hit a pothole or frostheave @ around 30 to 40 mph that I experience a jolt. I think the suspension may be bottoming out. Whats the stock up travel on one of these things? if it's less than 3" ...maybe stiffer springs.
