Replace or upgrade shock absorbers / dampers. These are doing the hard work on rougher roads to keep everything under control. KYB seems a reasonable OEM+ style option
Pros: reasonable OEM+ style
I recently did all 4 shocks in my 2002. I got the KYB Gas-a-just shocks from rockauto.com for like $40 per. They’re OEM fit and do what they’re supposed to.
Pros: OEM fit, does job
I put KYB on my 07 Corolla and 2-3 months in they feel great, car rides very smooth.
Pros: smooth ride, feel great
Vehicle:
Toyota Corolla
I did KYB … They made a huge change to my 99 Corolla.
Pros: huge change
Vehicle:
Toyota Corolla
I just ordered the kyb loaded strut assembly and put them on all 4 sides last week and they feel great
Pros: feel great
Installed the rear leafs, beam, new KYB struts, the mk3 GTI stub axles, now just waiting on new bearings, rotors, pads, and calipers for both sides.
Vehicle:

KYB. As good as OEM.
Pros: as good as OEM

The Excel-G (which I believe are called the GR-2 now) are stock replacements. If you just want to freshen things up, they'd be fine, and with a mild drop I think they'd be okay in terms of longevity (but you never know). If you're looking for a performance shock though, the GR-2 is not it.
Pros: stock replacements, fine for freshening, okay longevity
Cons: not for performance
I initially replaced my front structs and rear shocks with KYB Excel-G parts as they “seemed” to have good ratings and reviews as “good” shocks. The ride quality is now more “rough” and “bouncy” since apparently these shocks/struts are more stiff.
Cons: rough and bouncy ride
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
