Looking at the pictures, the ride height looks normal, but it looks like you have some 16" wheels with lower profile tires. Are you sure the rubbing is from bottoming out, or it from the wrong tire size? Normally, I'd say to do the "bounce test" on the shocks to see if they react worn. My usual procedure is to do the shocks first, then let that tell you if you need to do the springs.
