Toyobaru Aftermarket Shock Options?
 
Haven't had much luck in searching around, but what are the options for aftermarket shocks to put with my Eibach Sportlines and sway bars?

It looks like there are a few options these days.

Koni has rear bolt-on replacements and front inserts (meaning you have to gut your stock struts).

Bilstein has their B6 and B8 replacements which are bolt on.

TRD Japan has some replacement shocks as well as a few other JDM brands. Cusco just came out with some.

Thank you, I was specifically wondering about the Koni's if they were still inserts for the front or not, that rules them out for me as I plan to stick my stock suspension back in for winter driving.

Bilstein B8's...full replacement, designed for lowered applications.

I've been looking into this a lot myself, I'll be interested to hear more about them. I was looking at koni yellows myself, I didn't realize the front were inserts.

Looks like I'm going to go for Bilsteins.

Bilsteins are like 50%+ more than the Koni's, it might almost be cheaper to buy full set of used stock struts to gut.

Yeah there is at least one shop also (Turn in Concepts) who will sell you pre-built fronts as well.
