I'm thinking it's because you're not on a track doing this.

You prolly won't get a lot of help here for off-track foolishness...

slow down and maybe your car is to low so here is no suspension travel and when its loaded it bottoms out .

You're going to have to provide all the details you can possibly think of.

There's no way someone can help you with that little information.

This question doesn't have anything to do with racing or competition, so I'm moving the thread to S2000 Talk...

It sounds like your suspension is wound too tight - there's not enough body roll or suspension travel, so the car is skipping over the pavement. I'd imagine your rides very stiffly.
