USA Car Bottoming Out?

Well my 98 Corolla LE with 77,500 miles on her, bottoms out almost every time i hit any type of hole or crack on the road, so of course that means i need new suspension, my QUESTION IS: CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND WHAT SUSPENSION PARTS I NEED AND WHERE I CAN GET THEM? Im really tired of my car scraping every time i hit anything on the road....

Thanks Alot,
Austin

as far as springs OEM or for a lowering spring H&R or TEIN. Sruts i have KYB's but their a little soft so id go with tokico's if i had to buy new one's. tirerack is your friend.

A cheap and effective solution is to just reuse your OEM springs if they're not sagging and get new KYB GR2 struts off ebay.
