That doesn't sound right!. Even the GTI, has as standard, a pretty comfortable and refined drive. It sounds like you have a problem of sorts, maybe the shocks and springs have seen better days.

Have you had a look at them your self? Do they look overly corroded or are leaking? I have a GT aswell and find the suspension very comfortable even with lowering it!
