Lowering springs

You can shorten the oem stops. Or, use shorter, stiffer stops.
But, if the lowering springs are too low, to begin with: handling will be worse and you have no compression travel left in the strut. So, changing, or shortening the bump stop will only make the ride a bit more tolerable.
Don't run without bump stops. You need to slow down the, now limited, compression travel, before the top spring perch contacts the damper body - that contact is designed to stop the strut bottoming out.
