If it's real, I doubt it's the shocks.

Outside shot: What tires do you have, and how worn are they? Your mileage would coincide with either a need for new tires or recently changed tires, I assume.

If you have old Potenzas: My experience is summer Potenzas yield significant increase in impact feel and noise as they wear down. I could feel a big difference even in my G37 sedan with RE-11, let alone in the Z. The increase noise and impact sensations at full tread vs 6-7/32 tread depth vs 4/32 tread depth are very notice
able.
I have brand new Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires. I bought the car 1 year ago and noticed then.

What is your tire pressure set too? Ride quality is such a subjective thing. What may be stiff to you may not bother me a bit.

If the tire pressure doesn't help try different tires. All seasons seem to be softer than UHP summer tires like you are running now
