    hmm... medyo mahirap na magiba ang height ride kung same brand na fluid. it might be the springs na yan. it cant be the shocks... pacheck mo yung mounts and springs mo. the springs might have lost its intergrity yung busted shocks mo or old age.

    +1 here. when your ex-shocks were busted, you cannot see the difference, pero it somehow puts a great load on your springs.

    when you replaced your shocks, the springs could have lost its integrity already (parang nasanay na sya na daladala nya ang entire load ng vehicle), so nung nagpalit ka ng shocks, ganyan na sya.

    pacheck mo muna yung springs mo if that is really the culprit. pero there's no component na magpapababa ng ride ng car except for the springs. it can be also the mounts pero hardly the case.

    additional question lang... would anybody recommend that i put rubber lifters sa shocks ko (esp. sa rear)? feeling ko kasi ito yung cause ng pagkatuklap ng tires ko nung nag-long drive na may 3 adult passengers sa likod. ang liit na kasi ng clearance. parang sumasayad na yung gulong sa body.

    makakatulong kaya yung lifters or dapat magpalit na lang ng springs? if pwede lifters, meron bang rubber lifters na 1 or 2 inches ang thickness para tumaas? may idea ba kayo kung magkano per piece ang coil springs (oem or replacement)? my ride is 95 corolla xl. thanks.

    check mo muna, bro, kung kailangan or standard ang rubber lifter diyan sa model mo. . .basically, if the coil springs and the shocks are ok, you should not have a problem with your car's height. . .

    rubber lifters are a band-aid type of solution. .. it remedies the problem for a while, but if the shocks or springs are busted, babalik din yang problema mo unless you replace your spring or shocks, and since bago naman ang shocks mo. . .tama sila, pa-check mo muna yang springs mo. . .
