Like then you know you need new shocks.

poor ride, bouncy, bottoming out= new shocks.

Are they original? If so then yes you need new shocks.

Edit, i see you are on Skunk coilovers on them, they are blown, and get rid of the skunk and get either a quality spring like H&R or Eibach or true coilover

If you need shocks I would recommend KONI Yellows (Sports) shocks.

I replaced mine with KYB GR2 series all around. The car feels new again, I highly recommend them.
