Blown Shocks????
So recently my car is alot more bouncy like the only thing thats holding it up is shocks alone and its alot rougher. also my car bottoms out really easy, how can you tell if shocks are blown?

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.
