What are good shock for '96 Corolla that can handle a drop of 1.75" to 2"? Only shocks I found for my car is AGX GR2 and Tokico Blue. Does GAB still makes adjustable shock for this generation Corolla?

I can vouch for the GR2s. That's what i'm running now.
At first they were bouncy, but then they settled very very nicely. I have them with Ground Control Coilovers.
I have about a 2.5" drop in the front and about 1.5" in the back. And I must say the ride quality is awesome.
When I'm driving down he road I only feel ONE bump and that's it... the cars does not resonate. The car is firmly planted on the ground. At high speeds the car drops alittle bit and it's a beast changing lanes.
Under heavy breaking the car doesn't nose dive AT ALL. And under hard acceleration the car has a perfect level.
I'm keeping these for a long while!!! They're excelent. The only way I'm replacing them will be 5yrs from now when I get the KONIs.

the bad thing about tokicos is that the lifetime warranty is very limited as well as the life of the shock/strut. i have gone through 2 sets of tokicos with my ground control coilovers. the first set didnt even last a year but i can chock that to the crappy roads in alaska. but when i moved to georgia i bought another set and just recently i had to raise the car a bit cuz i think the shocks are starting to go. the waranty is void if you have ground contol coilovers cuz you have to trim the strut a bit to get the sleeve to fit on the strut. i wish that someone would make short shocks/struts for lowered cars.
