@ Red: stuff like Tein (sometimes, given a low weight car), moton, intrax, Ohlins, Billstein. Quality differences can be found in the design, materials used and manufacturing tolerances. All of this allows them to respond more linearly to suspension inputs and dissipate heat more effectively. You do pay a price though.
The day Ohlins comes out with a set for the AE86 again, I will be purchasing a set..Its what the engineers at toyota would have come up with before the beancounters shlashed 75% off the price of a shock.

And as a side remark: from experience, the Tokico "blues" shocks are quite a bit stiffer then the OEM stuff on the GTS ever was. Not a really sophisticated shock, but should be ok if you keep her from the bumpstops.

A wheel to steer the front of the car
A pedal to steer the rear
