Help, no power....

Right now I just want it tight. No leaks no mechanical issues. I might swap out the coils to get rid of all that air in the wheel wells, but it has TEMS and I need to read up cause I don't want to trash the ride. It does have some funky mushroom looking foam air filter now, but it will be swapped out for a K&N soon. It is my daughter's ride so she will call the shots on what we do other than the wrenching. She's learning a lot about that too. She knows way more about Supras than I do, just not whenching. Anyone know the best way to drop a couple inches of suspension with TEMS. I don't like cutting coils if I can avoid it as it jacks the ride.

Eibach springs. they drop 1.6 inches in front and 1.0 inch in the rear.

Cutting coils is not good. I agree.

Sweet, thanks! It won't alter the Tems I guess as it should just lower the stance. Thanks!!!

I used kyb shocks and kyb springs
They dropped the ride height about 2.5 inches
Although a little more than what ur original goal was, but the ride was still good, and there's sum pretty decent clearance between the wheel and the fender

And I hope I'm not butting in with ur daughter's plan
But u really cant feel the tems
Unless u really pay attention
sometimes i believe its a placebo effect

So might as well change the shocks with brand new ones, and more advanced, technology-wise
As the tems was invented 20yrs ago

I've got to disagree on the TEMS system being worthless or unnoticeable. I just finished installing a MAFT Pro and tuning a MKIII for another local. He had just replaced the dampers and the difference between the two was very noticeable. Nothing I would go to the trouble of adding to my car, but when driving around downtown Denver, the difference was very welcome.

thats why i gave an opinion, not an order to change the tems on thier car

I like my tems.

No way would I pull those off. Mine are quite noticable in difference.
One is tight and boxy.
The other is lose and floating. Feels like the way I remember a lincoln riding.
From when I was a kid.
