Default Bumpy Ride HELP!!

Hey guys I just recently bought a 2006 scion tc from a used car dealership. The previous owner had lowered the car. The ride is really bumpy when I go over bumps. I mean the whole car shakes. Is it because the car is lowered. I dont know whats wrong with it and was wondering if anyone could help me out.

do you have any clue what it is lowered on springs or coilovers? if its on springs could possibly be the struts and shocks are blown maybe?

It could be blown shocks/struts, or just a very stiff suspension setup.

If they're coilovers check and see if there is a small **** on the very top of the coilover (under your hood in the front and hidden under the interior in the rear). If there is a **** you should be able to turn it clockwise and counter-clockwise to adjust the stiffness from hard to soft. Adjust the *****, if applicable, and test drive to decide whatcha like the best.

Hopefully its just that simple and not an actual problem with your suspension.
