suspension issue

I have a 997 gt3 mark 1 and it is lowered on stock coil overs... Has anyone ever experienced a displacement when driving a hit a medium bump going 60 and have to stop and turn the wheel half way either left or right to put it back in place ??

The steering does follow the road and more direct probably due to the stiff bushings with no slop. Most sports cars with R compound tires are like this but you just have to hold the steering wheel but what your talking about I have no ideal what is wrong.

You can raise the stock suspension?

Ok so imagine driving on the fwy and you hit a medium size bump... Because your traveling at descent speed the front tires drop down fast and the body does not react fast enough the come to level at the time of incident... As soon as that happens I feel like a bushing it a control arm just gets misplaced and the car is unstable it's hopping all over the place... I then pull over and turn the steering wheel for it to cling back to place... I scheduled a appt with Porsche... But untill then I wanted feed back

Never heard of this but please do take it to a competent shop because that doesn't sound normal at all!
