Front stock struts bottoming out.

Yeah, I've had this issue for a while and it sucks *** because I was too anxious to have a shop lower my car instead of doing it myself, but anyway... at first it was just fine because the front was pretty much higher than the rear, so I lowered the front and evened out the drop all around. Now if I go over potholes, BANG. If I go over a speedbump too fast (or should I say not slow enough) DOUBLE simultaneous BANG. If I'm making a turn and there happens to be bad road, the weight that's shifted on that one wheel gets BANGED, too.

I have ground controls on.

Is there anything I can do to fix this?
