Before / After spring install. Question about Shocks on the market.

[Xx 87supra t xX]

Here some photos before and after the EIbach spring install. The shocks still were plenty strong when I took everything apart. MY questions is though IF there is anyone on the forum who has ran both TEMS after market shocks and non tems shocks aftermarket. I am trying to find out if its worth going with the Tokico Illumina or removing the TEMS systems all together. Everything still functions well just want a compare and contrast on some one who ran both systems.

Looks perfect...those springs will settle and end up a bit lower, probably. I'm also in the same boat; I've got a blown rear shock, and am wondering about going to static shocks in the back and keeping TEMs up front. Anybody care to chime in?

I know a lot of people that swear by a working TEMS system, and a lot that think it's junk and rip them out. Choice is up to you...

While it's a neat feature, a good adjustable damper like Koni Yellows or even better, properly valved Bilsteins will be best. I always drove around with my TEMS on full firm anyway (the SOGI mod) so I was all about removing them when the time came.

Yeah I installed them about a week ago. I dont want it any lower, But the springs did make the car have a hell of alot better ride.

Thanks for the info.

This is what I have gathered from reading past post. I was wondering maybe if anyone has ran both aftermarket shock / aftermarket Tems shocks and what performed better. I like the whole Idea of the TEMS just want whats going to work best in the car.
