The shocks may be OK. Depending on the manufacturer and whether they were cut or heated, the lowering springs may be another story. Since you're looking to replace both, you may want to start with stock springs first, and then see if the ride improves.

I don't know how much differences between Bilstein HD shock absorbers and Stock one but its good idea to start with Spring.

Do you know where can i buy it ?

For stock springs, I'd look for a forum member posting about their new lowering springs and then ask them to sell you their stock ones. Sorry but other than a dealer, I don't know where parts are sold in Australia.
