It seem when the springs are loaded, the dampers dont damp enough. On a straight road (springs slightly loaded ) the shocks are fine. I have a 23 mm sway. Is ok to replace the rears shocks only?

In that case you might tray a pair of KYB GR2 rear shocks (see TireRack).
They are designed as OEM replacement but do have increased rebound damping. I used a full set on my Talon with Eibach lowering springs and it rode well and handled nicely. They're inexpensive as well.
The next step would be TRD or Tokico dampers. But both are valved considerably stiffer so puting them in the rear alone may be a serious mis-match with OEM front struts. Also, I'm not sure you can buy the TRD rears separately.
