hope i can get some help. Am looking to change shocks soon and looking to get that drop low look. Now i know about the coilover setup but i think that is for racing setup plus the price off them WOW. This is my daily driven and mostly south to north runs. I have some coilover sleeve installed in that back on the kyb shocks i believe. It was ok for a while but now its bounce alot :( once it not on smooth road. Can't really say what model kyb it is but while doing some research i read that kyb excel G series was decent enough to handle coilover sleeves and would give me a good ride and also last longer. If you think you have a better setup plz feel free to let me know of it. Budget wise am trying not to cross $4000. Car is an ae100 corolla.

It was probably a bad idea to install those sleeves on stock shocks. The sleeves offer a decent way to adjust ride height without the full price of coilovers, but I've heard too many horror stories about the spring rates being too high for factory shocks and causing the shocks to fail prematurely.
