jumpy gas pedal?

Ok so here seems to be the problem, whenever im in 1-3 gear specificaly, i notice that even the littliest bump and i bounce and i get jerked cuz my foot comes on and off the gas. Could this be a suspension issue? clutch issue? tune? both? I have stock suspension except for Tein Luxary springs and i have a 6 puck clutch. thank you

Are you new to the car? Some of the auto rag writers complained of this back when the car was new to our shores. It is driver induced and the cure is time behind the wheel.

it just has a sensitive throttle

it happens to me over large bumps crossing intersections at low speeds and such

annoying but manageable

Yup, driver mod will fix this issue I've learned to "brace" for it when I see an upcoming bump or dip.
