Who makes the struts for a Camry LE V6

Curious if anyone could tell me who makes the struts for Toyota that go on a 1993 Camry LE V6? If you look at KYB and Tokico they both claim they make suspension products for Toyota.
Anybody know if either one makes an aftermarket strut that comes close to the ride of the OEM struts? The aftermarkets are about $20 to $40 cheaper per strut.

Both Tokico and KYB make struts for the '93 Camry. If you're looking for a "softer" stock like ride, consider the KYBs. As a side note, you need to determine if you've got sealed or servicable struts. Check out the FAQ section to help with that;

Lastly, shox.com sells for a decent price.

They probably both do. I tried to order KYB front and rear from theshockwarehouse.com about a year ago for my '92. The rears fit, but they sent (or didn't have) the wrong front ones, so I had to go with Toyota. If I remember correctly, neither of mine were replaceable cartridges - I had to replace the whole strut.
