I need information about the super strut suspension

What Shocks can i use on this system?

I'm pretty damn sure the words "SuperStrut" and "Cheap" are mutually exclusive I'm afraid.

KYB are actually OE Toyota shocks. I paid NZ$100 each for a set of genuine Toyota KYB shocks a few months ago from a Toyota dealer.

KYB is also making Shocks for TRD Suspensions for Street and Circuit.
Also GAB and Tanabe looks ok for the money.
I drove maikl SS3 last night with TEIN Type HA and the handling its AMAZING,try to get a price for a full coilover kit or save money for it.
Are you using stock springs?
Many Japanese Celica Owners are using TRD shocks with Swift springs,you can check Swift Web site at this link: http://www.tohatsu-springs.co.jp/
