SORRY FOR ALL THOSE THAT HAVE READ AND RESPONDED TO THIS QUESTION MANY A TIME BUT CAN THE GOOD PEOPLE HERE GIVE ME AN OPINION ON WHAT SHOCK ABSORBER THEY THINK WOULD SUIT MY KE30. IT HAS BEEN LOWERED 63mm or 2.5in ALL NEW BUSHINGS FRONT AND REAR. SITTING ON 14in TOYOTA RIMS. MAINLY STREET USE. THANKS A MILLION

Are You enquiring about front & rear shocks, or just one end ?

Are you still using the original KE30 struts at the front, or have you upgraded to the larger diameter (50mm) struts from a Corona/Celica/Cressida ?

Have you measured the  fully compressed & hanging lengths of travel of the existing shock absorber points ?  There is a real science to matching shock absorbers travel to suspension travel.

Quality of shocks is usually roughly proportional, to what you are prepared to pay.  Adjustable & gas ones are the most expensive, but I guess you don't really want to go to that length, if it is purely for "street use".

Are you using coil-overs on the front suspension, or have you just cut the coil springs ?

There is plenty of good info regarding this subject on the internet.   Here is a typical one.
