Unhappy Springs for my ae92 wagon....

Hey all!!!I recently changed my front struts to KYB gas struts.The rears will be changed shortly.Since changing the fronts Ive noticed that the ride has become(understanably)firmer.This in itself is not a problem but I notice that whenever im carrying a front passenger and I take a corner sharply enough the suspension bottoms out .Could it be that the springs are worn out???My car is a 1989 Corolla wagon and still has the stock springs.If the springs are worn,what would be a suitable replacement??Is the fact that Ive only changed the front struts working against me???Id really like to change the springs if they are the problem but I havent seen anything anywhere to indicate that aftermarket suppliers stock anything for my car.Any kind of help would be appreciated here guys!!!!

the springs could be sagged by now.. I also have KYB on my car.. but I have APEX springs.. 1.7 inch drop.. so my car is lowered and I sometimes bottom out too. The ride is good though, and cornering is awesome.
