Air Assisted suspension for lowered springs??

Hi,
Our bongo has had a mazda speed suspension setup installed and has been lowered. I have recently put some RX8 alloys on and have noticed that when the van is full of people and with a bike rack on, the suspension seems to bottom out when hitting a bump. This is a pretty load bang as well, but i have seen that you can add air bag like things to the coils to improve their stiffness. I was wondering though if their is any for a lowered spring?

Mine were under £100 delivered, they were supplied as for a lowered bongo, haven't fitted them yet, but got spacers in case I need em.

If it helps I had exactly the same issue with my Bongo. I opted for fitting air springs AND changing back to normal ride height springs. I'm not sure if the air alone would stop you from bottoming out.
