Suspension?
My '99 coupe is riding really rough. I had a mechanic check out springs and struts and I was told all is OK. I now feel every bump in the road. What could this be? the rear-end doesn't stay planted on take off, and when I hit a bump it feels like I'm hitting a curb.
SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Dumb question but how much air do you have in the tires? I run about 30lbs.
Did this just start doing this or did it always do it?

Depending on Air Tepmature, My tires will hold at 29psi-32psi.
I Have the 3-way Ride adjustible F45 Suspension and the System works properly,( I normally keep it on tour mode and when I switch to sport or perf mode ride quality changes like it should).
I have Pushed down on every part of the car to make sure that the shocks were working properly and they seem to be.
This problem started happening about a month ago and it has gotten progressively worse and I can't figure out what is causing this problem so I can't find a solution.
Hopefully somebody can help me.
Thank you

Just a guess but it happened to my 98 vert. Check the bushings for the rear spring. These are the bushings that the "lowering bolts" go through. There is a pad on the bottom and 2 bushings on the top of the lowering bolt. My $.02.
Good Luck!
