Need to upgrade soon and was wondering what would be a good set up for less than a set of coilovers for now.
Saw that Tokico has a nice set of struts thats are compatable with my TEMS
And I think im gonna go with them..Question is are there any switch panels other than stock to better utilize the Shocks adjustablity?
And whats a good spring to go with?? was thinking about Eibachs ? Do progressives hold up? not really sure about spring options and whether they would be ok with the Tokicos? wouldnt they work optimal at stock ride height? Not sure whether thats what they were designed for..

Personally, I would ditch the TEMS and run the shocks of your choice (I'm still using the stock ones, actually) and a set of springs. Suspension Techniques springs are supposed to be soft enough to keep your stock shocks from blowing up... and this has worked for me so far.

No, Tems are great. I say get the Tokiko's with the Eibachs.

I've got Tokico Illumina TEMS struts with stock springs. They are better than stock. But other than the lights on the dash, I don't see what the big deal about TEMS is. I always have the TEMS set on sport. For me, having on-the-fly adjustability is a waste. So I'm ditching the TEMS.
I've got JIC coilovers in a box ready for installation.
