Really need a bit more info on what shocks and spring rates have you got on your car.

Or go back to the people you bought it off, explain to them that it doesn't do what its supposed to and ask them what they think should be done to rectify the situation.

Your options are higher/stiffer suspension, and/or raising the lowest point on the car. That's usually the exhaust clamp at the front, and if you have an ordinary U bolt clamp there you can gain quite a bit of height by changing it to a Mikalor Supra clamp.

If it is exhaust clamps grounding quick fix is to turn them upside down, just bit more fiddly to tighten them.

Suspension "rebuilt" is a rather broad statement, presume included new shocks/springs, if adjustables probably need setting up properly ?

Not so good if you ground and send the bolt ends through the sump.
Mikalor clamps are way better.
If its hitting the ground after new shocks springs it either got the wrong parts or is set up wrong. Had mine replaced and set up and not hit the ground in the last 2000 miles. The exhaust is only 3 1/2" off the road as well so still need to negotiate speed bumps with care.

How fast are you taking these speed bumps !

Point taken, I'll split the difference with you, turn them sideways
