    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.

    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. . .

    ganun din nangyari sa akin..

    prices pala..

    1 1/2 inches of rubber lifter cost 250

    1 inch of rubber lifter cost mga 150

    What i did is, pinalitan ko yung 2 shock ko, add 1 1/2 rubber lifter both side and nagpalit din ako spring ng pang toyota corona na 9 ang ikot..ayun..maganda na ang tindig niya...

    Surplus spring should be around 500 to 600...

    Pagawa ka sa banawe..since you already have 2 new shocks then pahanap kanalang ng spring pang corona na sakto sa ride mo..addition to that..palagay kanadin ng rubber boot with stopper each side, 250 lang presyo nun..pero shempre tumawag ka ng todo..nakuha ko siya ng 170 each..hehehe..HTH

    Palit springs ka na lang. Your AE92 isn't exactly a new car. Even our old AE101's springs sagged a lot after 8 years with my family. Ganyan talaga sya eh.

    this same thing happened to my 90 corolla after i replaced my shocks.

    i changed the coil springs. umangat ng konti.

    don't use "Replacement" springs. get original surplus.
