Default Harsh Ride in The front

I'm not sure how to improve the ride of my 1990 LX. I replaced the front struts with KYBs and polyurethane sway bar links. I also replaced the rear shocks with KYB also. The spring insulators were also replaced. This car does not like going over bumps or potholes. I have 16" white five star wheels with Goodyear tires. I live in Eastern PA where potholes are a way of life. I'm open for suggestions. Thanks.

Bilstien makes a shock that has a variable spring wieght that adjust as you drive; constant velocity or whatever. Forgot what they're called. Constant rate or something. Anyway it's the shocks which are to dampen the springs jounce/rebound. They dont support wieght, smoother ride= softer shocks.
