Default Tokico Shocks

I need to replace the shocks for my supra and was wondering whether or not the Tokico Blue shocks are TEMS compatible.

The part numbers for them (hu3634) fronts,(hu3635) rears.

Or point me in the right direction to check if they work or not.

ThankS!

Well, I would like to know if these shocks will work as they are for sale brand new on Craigslist for much cheaper than most shocks.

There aren't very many TEMS compatible shocks out there. I don't know for a fact, but I do not think the Blues are TEMS compatible. The Illumina's, however, are.

These shocks are a decent price, and you know for sure that they are new.

Is it worth the TEMS?

Or are the Tokico blues pretty good shocks?

Ditto, defiant. Scrap TEMS.

If you must have adjustables, go KONI. Not adjustable from inside car, but waaaaay better strut than Tokico (even the illumina), KYB, or OEM.

Best bang for the buck is Tokico blue. Lifetime warranty. I just had Tokico replace all four of mine under warranty after over ten years of use.

If you get the blues, keep your receipt!

I have the TEMS on my Tokico illuminas. They work well. I have done the mod to leave my ride stiff. i also have H&R race springs which are also stiff. The illumina shocks are pretty stiff when the modded TEMS switch is on.
