Default suspension/shocks question

I have 93k miles on my 99.5 A4 quattro. I have begun to notice a little "body roll" on uneven pavement, and I suspect the shocks are no good. Specifically, the car will sort of lurch to the side a little if I roll over a small bump or hole in the pavement whis is only on one side. This seems particularly to be the case on the rear wheels. As far as I know, they've never been changed in the life of the car.

Does anyone have recommendations for replacement shocks, and where to get a good deal on them? The car has sport suspension, but no mods at all to suspension or engine/exhaust. I'm basically just looking to get the car's suspension back to original-like condition.

Thanks.

NAPA and such should have new stock ones mooge and stuff make them all of those brands should be just fine from NAPA or Carquest or w/e, you can find them online too though check ecstuning maybe. Push on the car to see if it bounces too much, it could be a broken sway bar link in the rear or something too.
