Rear shock question..

Hey I just have a question about my rear end suspension. I have a cobalt tc with stock struts and am lowered on ksport springs. The front end seems to be as stiff as the day I got it. On the rear end I have the ksport springs with koni yellows. My question is it there shocks for the rear end that hold the ride height stiff instead of just a bump rebound stiffness? The springs have been in only about a year and with as much weight on the front without sag I can't imagine the rears are already... Any ideas or parts that could help? Thanks in advance...

no all shocks for our cars are either stock like fe5 aka ss/tc shocks or konis which are just damper control

don't ask your dampeners to do the job your springs should be doing.

No system just what came stock. Any idea if aftermarket springs come in different spring rates? Otherwise may just have to start looking for some coilovers... Thanks guys
