My Cerbera is set at the correct ride height and is running on Nitron shocks and under brisk driving occasionally grounds on bumpy back roads. The last time this happened it went with such a thumb that when i looked in the mirror i could still see sparks bouncing along the road behind the car! Should this happen? If nothing else its quite damaging to the underside of the car and feels incredibly harsh and is something I would prefer not to be happening. Should the bump stops on the shocks, if there are any, stop this from happening?

Probably the exhaust rear box(es). What exhaust do you have and what's the clearance from the road?

Standard ride height is quite high at the rear, too.

It's a standard back box and the ride height is 120mm to the front of the outriggers and 130mm to the rear of the Outriggers. I think it's actually grounding in the rear roll bar and protection plate on the underside of the chassis

Wind up the dampers a bit so they control the compression a bit more.
