Actually I think he already has lowering springs with the 18" wheels. Best way to smooth it out is switch back to the 15s and get the stock springs back on. I would try the springs first and see if that helps. Won't look as nice but it will probably ride better on the bumps.

No matter what you do, the xB will never ride like a Caddy.

You could remove the 18's adn go with 17's and a taller tire. It is the short sidewall that makes the ride more jarring. Basically less sidewall mean less flex. Less flex stiffer ride.
I like my 18's with 35's...

the ride quality difference between stock and aftermarket springs in minimal. its the low profile tires that is giving you the nasty ride you speak of. go with a smaller wheel and a larger profile such as a 50 series.
