the coilover should not bottom out regardless of how soft it is. if it does, then it is poorly designed.
since the rear has an appearance of sagging or like there is a lot of weight in the trunk, you need to raise the rear coilover height, if there is still height adjustment.
you could lower the front to match, however as stated in previous posts, you increase failure risk on the x-drive half shafts.
