Any modifications to suspension or exhaust? What sort of tires/rims are you using? How are the strut mounts? Any car will "bottom out" when traveling at speed over rough roads. If you suspect a mechanical deficiency let a shop look it over.

https://www.topgear.com.ph/columns/motor-mouth-online/q-a-what-is-the-best-way-for-me-to-increase-my-car-s-ride-height Found this article for changing ride height. As far as aftermarket installations, it can get expensive, some of it. I'm not recommending anything, that is your decision. I just thought your question was interesting. If your going too fast when you hit the bump, does slowing down help anything?

THE FRONT IS HEAVY FOR THE STOCK SUSPENSION. ITS THE FRONT THAT BOTTOMS OUT. NO MODS ON SUSPENSION OR EXHAUST. BOTTOMS EVEN WHEN GOING SLOW OVER SPEED BUMPS. 3 SHOPS SAID THAT'S THE WAY THEY ARE MADE......BS. I NEED A BETTER RIDE FROM THIS VEHICLE. WHAT CAN I DO TO STIFFEN UP FRONT SUSPENSION.
