My car is standard, hasnt been lowered and has 15" VTR alloys. Whenever i hav 3 or more passengers, whenever i go over a bump there is a dirty grinding noise. It sounds like one of the rear wheels is touching the bumper. I didnt know if this was very common, or it my suspension is too loose or somethin? It has grinded before a little with just two passengers, i thought the car would be made so this doesnt happen :S
Any ideas why its grinding so much?

depends what speed you go over these bumps, as all cars will bottom out, made more easier if you have people in car

sorry, 15" vtr ALLOYS. Im sure u cuda worked that out with jus a lil bit of common sense :)
I dont normally go at stupid speeds, i do try 2 slow down for most bumps, and i know it wud happen in most cars, im just sayin that mine seems to do it with onli 2 passengers in the car and that dont seem right, like my suspension is too loose or something?

could be shagged dampers?

just noticed you have a 1.1, and you have vtr alloys on, due to them being wider than the standard bike size width, jack the car up, and see where it is rubbing
