Default AU2 XR8 Rebel Suspension

Hi guys. Just brought an AU XR8 Rebel.
It rides very rough. Not sure what they have done to the suspension.
Any way am after some suggestions for making it a comfortable ride and not super low as I have country mid north coast Nsw roads to deal with and would also still like it to handle well.

Cheers

Standard stocks? If you have dumpy, pot holes dirt roads lows could be an issue.

What colour are the springs? So they still have tags on them?

Fitting aftermarket springs was very popular. I had Kings on my AU.
