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.
