55k miles isn't a ton a the original suspension. New shocks/struts may help, but the kind you get will depend on the type of ride you want. Stiffer shocks and lowering springs can increase handling, but the trade off is a bumpier and stiffer ride. It sounds like you're going more for comfort. The original springs are fine if you were satisfied with them before. They usually last the lifetime of the car. The shocks/struts are the first to go out. If you're after a softer ride, I'd look for the OEM shocks/struts or equivalent. You don't need to go to the dealership, they'll rape on everything. It's a pretty easy install and doesn't really require any dealer specific repair, so any place that does good suspension work is fine. Should be around $200-$400 for the labor for all four....depending on the shop....plus parts.

I think it might also be your relatively new tires. Some really cheap tires tend to wear out quickly and get noisy/bumpy the more you drive them. I'd check for proper inflation before doing anything else.
