Time for a new suspension?

Purchased the car 2 wks ago. Car is in stunning condition.



I suspect that the suspension/shocks may be worn. The car occasionally bottoms out in the rear. It also shudders on rough surfaces. Front / steering feels very tight.



How can I tell if shocks are shot?

If the original shocks are still on the car, they're shot. See this section on miata.net -
