Your shocks are probably blown which is causing you to bottom out. I'd suggest tokico blues if this is just a daily driver. If you want dampening adjustablity then go with the koni yellows. BTW there are other options besides the shocks I just mentioned. Search around you should be able to find some good info.

I learned that the best way to avoid bottoming out is to avoid roads that have inclines, holes or steep driveways haha

magnaflow is known to sit lower than normal. Have a muffler shop raise it up.
