Bottoming out your shocks will reduce the life span...to remedy your probelm a set of new shcoks are needed. Anything from tokico, kyb,etc will do.

A shock has only so much travel...since a stock shock isnt designed for lowered springs..the compression of the shocks causes it to travel to much for it to ahndle, causing it to bottom-out.

Heres an eample:
