Suspension bottoms out easily?

I've had my GT3 for just about 3 months now. In daily driving I've noticed that the suspension (at least in the front) seems to bottom out relatively easily over things like depressed manhole covers that don't seem to be very deep (maybe 2 inches or so). I hear a pretty loud whack when this happens, so I assume it's bottoming out. Over lesser road irregularities, there is no noise at all. I guess it's because of the limited suspension travel. Is this normal?

This fully depends on the speed at which you are travelling. If you are going slow, then the above is true and you have a problem. If you are going fast, then no wonder you get a whacking sound. Please be kind to your car.

Our cars have rubber/foam style bump stops on each strut to prevent it from going beyond its compression limits, i.e., bottoming out. If you are bouncing off of these stops, they will show excessive where and will even begin to split. I would be surprise if this was happening to your car assuming you are at factory ride height and settings.
Like others said, you may want to look else where.
