What brand of street shocks do you have?

Tokico Blues are supposed to be slightly stiffer than stock shocks. The vague thing, is that may mean stiffer than the base Corolla, or stiffer than the SR5, or stiffer than the GTS, no one at Tokico really will respond to that. They just will say stiffer than the original shocks, and when there are several original models, stiffer than the midrange is typical.
So like KYB GR2s, they should be close to a stock GTS, stiffer than an SR5, and no one can get a more precise answer out of them.

AFAIK there are no "long" stroke shocks, which would mean LONGER than original. There's only original, and shortened (aka "Short stroke"). Short is fine for on-track racing but really bad for road rally and other street use, where you need the original rebound length to absorb the variations on the road. A shortened suspension will either bottom out faster, or not absorb the lesser changes at all (it will ride harsher).

More important is that the shocks and springs be matched, either normal or short.

Original owner, 1985 Toyota Corolla GT-S in the US of A. Will trade for a Cadillac-Gage V150 or a Ford GT44.
