Thanks for the info guys!

Wow, what an annoying read...



Tokico Illumina II's are the only TEMS compatible shock that's available anymore, AFAIK.


A few coil over manufacturers make a TEMS like system for their coil overs. These systems are generally far more functional and offer a MUCH larger range of control over the dampers. They typically also allow independent control over the front and rear. Tein offers a great system which works with half of their coil overs.

Also, do note that while most coil overs advertise an adjustable damper valve they do not mean that it can be adjusted on the fly... Some of them have to be removed from the vehicle or in some of the worst cases you have to actually pull and disassemble the damper.


A MKIII with TEMS and dampers that aren't dead isn't a bad ride actually. If you force it to it's stiffest (yes, you can mod the TEMS system so you can manually select the mode) it's pretty nice, not much different than my Eibach + KYB setup though... the real nice part is that when set to "soft" it REALLY helps make those really rough roads comfortable.




Triple C, no one here is running a MAF... I used to but I tossed it in favor of a MAP based setup. Your car uses a MAP sensor and most everyone else here is running an AFM of one variety or another.

Oh, and Colorado has worse roads than a lot of places... it's surprising really.

always expect Cre to cap off the topic lol

:dunno: What I do? :outahere:

lol nothing, it just means you know your stuff

I got a set of BC sports coilovers for a hundred bucks more then the megan's I have on my other car. Comes with camber plates and pillow ball mounts, fully adjustable ride height and you just need a jack stand and the wrench's that come with the coilovers, 32-levels of dampening... and man it can ride comfy or super stiff, and if you want you can make your car ride like a donk for those fucked roads, excuse my fucked.

So many possibilities

My megans gave me the same thing as his BC coilovers. Pillow ball tops wrenches, STICKERS'S(+1 for me)Coils and Shocks.

How does bilstein shocks with eibach springs sound? Im also getting new sway bars and installing strut bars, along with new joints

Actually the BC's ended up costing around 1100 after getting an extra stiff set of springs from them.

Can u put the Tokico Illumina adjustable ones on a supra without tems and adjust them by hand.

haha, im on staten island, i feel your pain.. lol

yeah man...

i can't believe this thread is still going and i still have stock suspension -__-
