I bought a Mustang that was lowered I don't know how much was lowered. Probably at least an inch. I bought OEM struts and they bottom out, on bumps they shouldn't. So I'm assuming I need shorter struts correct? How do I know what size struts to get so they won't bottom out anymore? I was doing 50 the other day and had a dip in the road and they bottomed out. It sounded metal to metal. I will try sending a picture to show how low it looks.

That isnt much of a drop. No reason for the struts to "bottom out".
