Default Need hlep with suspension problem.

Hey guys, I have an MK3 with TEMS. I purchased it without the TEMS hooked up and non adjustables in the front and in the back. THey are tokico blues and the rear are shot. I can't find the correct ones to replace it. I need it as soon as possible. Please someone help.

It sounds like he's still not gonna hook up the TEMS. In that case, he should be easily able to find some replacement shocks.

"I" would go ahead and replace all 4 shocks at one time, because you want the car to be balanced well, and handle it best.

New shocks on only one end may perform differently, and cause some handling problems.

I don't have any of the motors for the TEMS and need a strut that will fit in there and work without the TEMS. What will happen if I put the TEMS strut without the motors?

I just replaced the struts on mine with the Tokico Illumina. They seem to work well with the TEMS but the first one was a pain to put on until I figured it out. I chucked the boxes or I would tell you exactly what they are. I used them with the Eibach lower springs. Tokico said they would work fine with the lower ride height but their life would be shorter
