Default Coil Bind/Bump Stop

I put some springs on the other day for the first time. Front 1.5" Drop, Rear 1.35" Drop. When I hit small bumps or pot holes if going a little to fast it seems to bottm out in the front. Checked front and the very top part of the coil on the bottom the paint has rubbed off a little and started to rust. I think I set the bumper stop to low. I am going to adjust it up this next weekend and see if it makes a difference. If it does not bottom out any more after I adjust the bumper is the coil still ok? do I need to patch the rusted spot?

if you used lowering springs, it is completly normal for them to coil bind, they are progressive springs, it is how they work

even if it's completely unloaded? what is the reason for them to be there in the first place?
