Okay, this is just a question about the stock suspension on a '03 GT and if my problem is normal, I think it is, I think it's just how the suspension it. On my '03 GT 5-spd the way the suspension is causes the car to bounce so much that first or second gear I'll press harder on the gas from the bump making the car jerk alot, kinda like how a car would look when someone would couldn't drive a 5-spd is trying to get it to go off the line and its trying to die and is jerking. I'm wondering if this is just how the suspension is on this car or what? It's kinda annoying, what I do now is just let off the gas immediately after hitting a bump now (it also doesn't happen in higher gear, just the low end ones). So is this normal? and if so, what needs to be replaced to make it firmer? I was gonna put some better springs on there to give it better handling and lower it a bit, will that help?

That sounds like torque not suspension. This has happened to me when starting up in 1st gear going over a bumpy or uneven road surface. The wheels are trying to grip and the torque starts to take over.
