East GT too low?

My 04 GT vert hits bottom in the rear real hard over certain bumps. I have less than 25,000 kms on it, so it's unlikely to have anything worn out. Any suggestions on what I can do with this?

hmmm sounds like your shocks are done.Actually with only 24km on a 04,shocks should still be good.Unless your santa and that big old bag of goodies in the trunk is way to heavy lol

Thanks, Digger. I thought of that, but no bounce, no sag, handling near perfect, but it's still possible. Any thoughts on what best to replace them with?

Is the suspension stock or lowered?

Well, I wondered that. I bought it last summer from the second owner with only 14,500 on it. Any idea what normal ride height is? There's really none around here to compare to. I guess if it had been lowered, I'd put up with the occasional thump because it looks great where it is.

Sounds like you got some lowering springs that are more then 1 1/2.
