Rough Riding Suspension, Need Help

Alright my car has an odd problem, or at least it seems so to me. My 98 I30 has a very rough ride, but it seems to come more from the rear of the car. I've checked my tire pressure and it is fine, but the car just bounces all over the place on rough pavement but soaks up large dips easily. It also seems to do this more when its colder outside, when its warm I dont really notice it. Anyone have any ideas???

is your suspension still stock?
if so, your rear shocks might be blown

Look at the struts themselves. If they are moist, or it appears there is fluid leaking out of them, they may no longer be dampening properly.

Throw a set of GR2's on your car.

They will firm up your ride quite a bit and give you some excellent handling.
