so what have you all used to replace the stock struts that are compatablie with the TEMS system?
i know the dealer can get them for me but not looking to spend $325 each for OEM. when performance after market are usually better.

this seems to be the only direct replacement struts for supras with the TEMS suspension that actually uses the TEMS to adjust it.

tokico struts here are the part numbers they seem to run anywhere from $114-$207 each depending on where ya buy them.

TEMS adj susp. (MA70)861/2-92 EU3634EU3635if anybody has anything else that they know works as a direct replacement feel free to let me know.from what i hear these dont have a good quality record

seems i might have to boot the TEMS system and go with some KYB's. wich from what i hear is a nice replacement strut to eliminate the TEMS system all together.

Yes, I believe those tokicos are the only TEMS comptible shocks around. You can just get upgraded shocks, rip(or gently remove) your tems out, and sell it. Thats what im doing. Who needs anything but firm mode anyway?

So for sure the Tokicko Illuminas are the only struts (OEM aside) that work with TEMs? Personally I like TEMs it's a nice feature on the car.

mad_dicer · 10-10-2006, 08:08 PM

yup they are the ONLY ones that are direct replacement that i could find besides the ones ya can get from the dealer wich here are $325 each

. Shows that they wont try to rip you off when you know what your talking about. lol.
