Tems suspension or no?

Your Tokiko's are shot. Uncontrolled bouncing is an almost sure sign.

Lol yea i think the tems was just offered as a luxury option. I heard hks made a modeule that controled tems at any time, but its impossible to fimd

cvbikeguy · 04-20-2010, 11:09 PM

I like the same thing in my supra, fast corners. I dont care much about the comfy ride b/c im used to bouncy and loud from my jeep. Id say ditch the TEMS and get some nice stiff shocks and a lowering kit. if you have the money get the adjustable coilovers... if its not how you like you can loosen or tighten the springs for whatever ride you want, and you always have the option for performance.

I just purchased a set of NEX Adjustable coil-overs on ebay from the ebay store maxspeedpeformance. They cost me $680 and I *think* they had 0'' to 2'' adjustability.

Tokico Illumina II's ( Tems Compatible ) are about 450+ shipped and depedning on how long your suspension has been in poor condition, you'll want to replace the springs too. New springs plus illumina II's cost more than my coil-overs.

One more added benefit of getting rid of tems is it is much easier to find strut tower bars.

One handy feature about the Nex coil-overs i bought is that they keep the ride height adjustment seperate from the spring stiffness adjustment, so you can have stock height with tighter springs. Just make sure if you lower it, you tighten the springs accordingly, because I didnt and now i get pissed every time my car drags on something. Ask Btwilson86
