Technically, the FD doesn't have "struts". They have shocks. Additionally, spring rates, tires (primarily the aspect ratio) also factor in heavily when talking about ride quality. What shocks did you buy, do you have OEM springs and what tire size are you running?

springs mounted on shocks = struts

Bad shocks/struts wont make your car ride rough, your springs and high compression/rebound shocks will.
