I order to stiffen the shocs you should have gotten a couple of white ***** with your struts. put them on top of your struts, (they have slots to fit) and turn them to the right. That will stiffen them. If you still bottom out get stiffer springs, or raise your car. Gl

The spring takes the impact of the bump and the strut pushes back to normal length (called rebound). If you want a stiffer ride, you need to change the springs. A softer (slower) rate on the struts gives a plusher ride, more like a cadillac type ride.
