Bottoming out on small road imperfections.

The title says it all. About 2yrs ago my stock shocks were worn out so I had them replaced with Bilstein HDs. Ever since then the car bottoms out far too easily. I thought the springs might be sagged as it was riding rather softly -so yesterday I had some new springs put in -Kilen Sport springs. To my horror not only are they lower, but they are not very stiff -the car still bottoms out quite easily though no longer feels "floaty" on the freeway.
The car was lowered 1.5" in front and about 1" in back -still looks raked.
Anything stiffer out there?
