I bottom out a lot in my 99 camry, mainly when I have like 4 or 5 people in it. It has stock rims (14" I believe) and stock suspension and springs. Now what is the effectiveness/drawbacks of replacing these components, and which do you reccomend.

hahaha, 4-5 ppl = 600+ lbs loading up a car that rides on 100lbs/in springs, maybe 150 at best in the rear = approx 4-6 inch drop.

i can imagine why you bottom out.

so are there springs with higher spring constants or something, and if so do they really degrade the quality of your ride?
