Default Tems suspension or no?

Im looking to tune my suspension to stiff street tuned suspension...i was thinking of gettin the tokico struts that work with tems...but ppl with supras tell me im better off ditching the tems and just getting some good shocks like bisten...what are your suggestions?

Personally I like the TEMS setup, but I'm more interested in a comfortable, smoothly adjusting suspension and ride than the stiff, somewhat harsher ride that's pretty typical when you're more interested in flat cornering.

Just depends on what you're after.

it shouldn't be doing that unless your struts are really bad or maybe your driving an old crown vic

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