Adjustable shocks allow the driver to change the rebound and compression damping, which influence ride quality to suit their driving purposes (basically a harsher or softer ride based on preferences).
Ride height is only adjustable with coilovers. With regular stock springs or lowering springs, the ride height is set.
Coilovers come in either the sleeve/spring form (such as Ground Control):
Or they come as a spring/shock combination (Such as Tein SS):
I was running KSport Kontrol Pro's on my Corolla XRS which are rated at:
Front (kg/lbs) = 7.5/420
Rear (kg/lbs) = 6/336
I always ran them on full stiff since I was running wider wheels with lower offsets. I've heard people claim they were stiff coilovers but in all honestly I wish they were stiffer and I probably wouldn't have rubbed much either. You could always order stiffer springs through KSport but the ride would def. be considered harsh at that point but with the spring rate they come with they are def. more than tolerable. I actually have them off my car and sitting in the basement since before this past winter because i'm taking my XRS in a whole new direction so if you are interested shoot me a pm and I can give you a run down on them along with some pics.
