Default Rear suspension noise plz help

Hope sumone can help i have a 98 gs400 rear of car bottoms out for any bump or dip inda road.
I first thought it was the strut i have ksport one piece so i purchased new replacements which i installed last night.
Spring rate is high damper is set first standard setting as directed now i put hard and still have the same issue
I dont trust alot of shops who assume and make crazy suggestions telling me buy a bunch of un needed parts im located in ny btw..

ksports cannot bottom out on the shocks if you lowered it correctly.

Correctly = Shortening the strut body
Incorrectly = Adjusting the spring perch.
