Even if it was the very best neighbourhood that is far too many links back from just 2 domains, ideally you want something in the 3/1 to 7/1 ratio. Try and get them taken off the domains that are linking to you. That probably won't work. Where do they link to on your site ? If it's your index page or an important page that you can't do without then you're kinda stuck. If they link to a page that you could delete, do that and then in your htaccess do a 301 redirect for that deleted page only to another dummy domain you have.
IE.
www.yourdomain.com/troublesomepage.html 301 to
www.domainidontuse.com/troublesomepage.html
Forgot to say, even if you are successful in doing this it will be many months before Google sucks it all up and decides to be nice again.
