My setup is so different, I'm not sure how much it will help, but I have GR2's on the back of my car and I like them. other people I have talked to have said good things too. My '90 Corolla isn't stock ride height, but I went up, not down, so I cant tell you anything about that.
GR2s are okay for mild spring rates. My bro's got them on his 94 with Apex springs. You shouldn't run into many alignment issues with them, but if you do any suspension work, you should get an alignment anyways.
i got TEIN S-TECH w/ KYB GR-2 on my 95... handling is great compared to stock but its still alittle on the soft side...haha speaking of alignment i still hav to go to do my alignment adjustment bcuz i'm having camber wear problems up front...
so i need help w/ that too... cuz my mechanic told me i need the specs from TEIN or something in order to do the stupid alignment bcuz my car is lowered...

Aside from the shocks and springs, you dont need anything to adjust for camber with that drop? It can be donw within spec?
You're not beating a dead horse, you're just not getting a straight answer Any time you adjust ride height, the suspension geometry is changed. So if you just throw new springs on there, control arms that used to be level are now canted at an angle.
When I used to work on Mustangs, if you wanted to do things right, you got some adjustable caster/camber plates when you got lowering springs. Of course those are high(er) HP rear wheel drive cars that are meant to go fast in a straight line, so the engineering is quite different (duh)
Now here I have to confess that I'm a total noob when it comes to Toyotas. I don't know who makes what or even what is available, but unless Corollas are made with sufficient caster/camber adjustment, if you change your ride height, you're going to alter your car's geometry which will mean increased wear on certain things like bushings or tires.

i don't believe that there is anyway to adjust camber save for expensive custom work. you probably will have to adjust the alignment. there's only so low you can go with these cars, and about 1.3 inches is about the max unless you do alot of weight reduction. im not sure, but i heard that the tokico blues were a better buy, but im not sure, i'm still trying to figure out which ones i want to get. i've heard both bad and good for both brands, mostly that gr2s don't provide much of an upgrade... but im not gonna push either opinion since i havn't used either lol

As far as ae92's are concerned...i've seen aftermarket camber bolts....
...And couple days ago at the junk yard spotted an 87 FX16 (AE82) which had factory camber eccentric on the spindle..score! So thats another option if you need adjustable camber for ae92

I have a set of camber bolts for my Tercel that I got on E-Bay for about $10. I believe that they are appilcable to the Corollas too.

Anyone have experience with KYB GR-2 struts?
