I put on a brand new set of Tokico Illumina II struts on my car, and it made a HUGE difference. The car is so much tighter and more solid. It still drives like the heavy thing it is, but massively improved. And the TEMS actuators all work. The crazy thing is, being a California car, everything was almost eerily devoid of rust. Even though there was a nice coat of grime, underneath the nuts, bolts, A-arms, etc. were shiny! Really weird, compared to Utah cars driven in the winter on salty, snowy roads. All in all, a pretty straightforward process, but I did learn a few tips and tricks, and if there's anywhere to put them where they'd be accessible to more people, I'd be happy to do so. Does such a place exist?

Oh, I don't know everything... not by a mile. I know other people who know a TON more on far more subjects than I. I think I just know 'enough'. ;)

Well, I'd like anything written on the subject to include plenty of photos too. Either way you may feel free to compose a new thread/write-up for the FAQ section on "how to change your springs and dampers with TEMS". I'd prefer that you look to see if there are any well written threads on the topic already which you could add to and then I'll move it.

Let me know if you care to contribute either way... It'll be one less thing that I have to keep repeating myself on.
