How many miles on your car not kilometers please translate to milage :)

There's this highway, south of Manila, Philippines. Several types of road surface can be found on different sections of this highway: smooth concrete, rough concrete, bumpy concrete, smooth asphalt, wavy asphalt... On bumpy concrete the car bounces a lot at about 100 mph. And on the point where the concrete meets the asphalted bridges, where the asphalt is not as flat as the concrete, the struts tend to bottom out on the approaches and landings. ...with a loud THUD! ...strong enough to shake the coins in the car.
My Civic is 1 year old with just 5592 miles on it. I can live with it. Just can't push the car to top speed like I use to with stock springs though.
I'm considering the following options: 1. Shaving the bump stop. 2. Replacing the struts with aftermarket ones.
Thanks very much for your time.
