Can suspension be too low?
Can suspension be too low and cause issues with struts, ie if car is too low can this cause struts to exeed stroke length and top or bottom out?
I am starting to feel that this may be my coilover issue?
Anyone know where you can get struts re gassed?

Yes, and those probs can occure with disasterous results as metal meets metal face on with a tonne of car on it...
A good rule of thumb is to lower the car till the lower front wishbones are horizontal. Most coil-overs will have enough travel to cope with spirited driving, but not sure they will survive driving with air under the tyres!
Ask Curtis for help at Powerstation on the struts.

It depends on how the coilovers lower the vehicle. Many coilovers now run adjustable bottom mounts to allow ride height to be set without effecting damper travel so you can run the car low without hitting the bump stops all the time. If youre coilovers lower via the spring platform and the cars sat low then yes, theres every chance that the dampers are bottoming out.
