Standard ones?

If so just buy a suspension kit and drop it a few mm

all the time? if its when you go round corners it could be a very knackered wheel bearing????
does sound suspension related tho, as has already been said shock absorbers. piece of piss to change yourself... not expensive really, probs Â£40 a pair or so. if you push the back of the car down it should rise to where it was reasonably quickly
