I have a 92 Toyota Tercel, 1.5L 2-door sedan. recently the rear of the car has been bottoming out on bumpy roads, pretty sure the rear suspension needs to be replaced. wondering if i can get any tips/guidance on what exactly needs to be done, i.e. is it the struts, the springs? how to replace? best place to buy online (i'm in hawaii and no parts stores cary parts for my car)? any and all help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Not sure where to buy or how to replace, but your springs and shocks will definitely need to be replaced. Check your bumpstops too, they may be worn.

IF YOUR NOT LOOKING TO DO ANY THING SPECIAL TO THE CAR GO TO THE AUTOPARTSWAREHOUSE.COM
(ITS ACTUALLY CHEAPER TO GET A DROP KIT FOR IT @ ANDY SPORTS CAR SHOP GOOGLE IT )
AND IT FAIRLY SIMPLE YOU NEED TO TAKE THE CAMBER PLATE OFF (BEE SURE TO JACK THE CAR UP AND RELAX THE SUSPENTION FIRST)
REMOVE CAMBER PLATE FROM SHOCK OR AND KOIL (MIGHT WANT TO USE A SPRING COMPRESSOR MAKES JOB WAY EASIER)
REMOVE SPRING AND SHOCK REPLACE AND PUT BACK TO GETHER
