Suspension Rides Hard

I notice that when I go over bumps, the rear suspension seems to ride really hard. Like I can feel every single bump in the road. I have Pirelli P Zero Tires that came on the car. Sometimes it almost feels like I have some sort of bumpsteer issue going on....in the back. When I hit a bump the rear seems like it wants to shimmy left or right. I am not sure if this is normal, as it's done it since I bought it.

It has 24,500 miles on it.

I have no warning lights and no saggy suspension. And I have the setting on whatever the default is for the suspension controls.

Is this normal?

Outrun,

You might want to check out my thread, as you might have the same issue as I did.

Figured this out. It's the rear tires. They're Pirelli P Zero Nero's and they're worn down. Nothing there to absorb the bumps.

I dont think that would cause the car to ride rough, unless the airpressure was low?
