I'm wondering the same thing i was thinking of trying to get some shocks and springs off a Type R or 2.5Gt since they were lower (2" compared to 87~88) and shouldnt mess with my TEMS.

Well if they came out of a MKIII supra they should have the TEMS. I really dont find the TEMS all that usefull i leave it in sport even when im driving safely.

Just cause it came out of a MKIII doesn't mean it'll have TEMS as this was a factory option. There are a few threads on here that talk about lowering with or without TEMS suspension, and it goes into discussion regarding keeping the TEMS shocks with different springs or replacing the shocks as well. Just do a little search, you should find it

Hmm.. Is it true that if you want to utilize Tems, there were no shocks aside from the OEM if they still even make them?
