Does my suspension need some work.
I bought a Third gen Camaro, a 90 RS, last summer and it had almost no problems. I could go as fast as I wanted, on lets say a highway, and no matter if there was a bump or dip in the road the car would still go without a problem. Now almost a year later the car has aged (mostly because it just sat for a very long time before I bought it) and if there is a bump or a dip theres a good chance that the bottom of the car skims the road due to the bounce from the bump.
Like I said it use to not do that. Does this mean its time to replace something?

Your car is 20 years old. Aside from struts and shocks, the front suspension parts are probably in bad shape as well.

Re: Does my suspension need some work.
shocks, struts and springs, or something is broken and hanging under the car and scrapping. look under hte car, may be something exhaust related
i find it hard to believe the car is actually bottoming out on the highway, it would have to be sitting really really low, i mean absurdly low to do that.

Re: Does my suspension need some work.
Its a RS so the front and sides are a little lower but thats not whats hitting. It really does skim, kind of easily too. Ive checked under along time ago. Nothing out of the ordinary. Exhaust looks normal as far as I can tell too.
