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.
