a new suspension...that's a rather vague statement. Is there any particular reason for thinking this? Suspension systems don't often spontaneously fail as an entire system. Do you have obviously damaged or worn components? Is the car making any noises, or behaving in a certain way under certain driving conditions? Or are you looking for more performance from the stock suspension? Or what?

He probably has worn or maybe even a couple blown shocks.
Any "fine autoparts retailer" such as NAPA, Autozone, Pep Boys, etc will carry suitable new shocks if you have no interest in performance. You will also need a few special things to take off the shocks, like a spring compressor and preferably a Chilton's, Hayne's, or a FSM.

Whenever i go over a speed bump or even driving into my driveway i get these cracking noises coming for the rear car. Its coming from the rear tires. I dunno what it could be.

Cracking? Like Rice Krispies? Sounds like you have bigger problems then a blown shock. An old suspension may squeek or creak going over a bump, but cracking I don't know.
