Allright basically I replaced my front struts with normal non electronic ones because they were old and blown and I did not have the money for TEMS. They cut the TEMS wires and for the life of me I cant find the wires now to hook up to!!!! :3d_frown:

Can anyone help me locate where about the wires should be coming from or another location to tap into them?

Oh another very interesting tidbit, the new TEMS lowerd my car like 4-5 inches in front!!!! Also without even hookin the TEMS up its super stiff :icon_bigg

Is this aftermarket or whats the deal!?

LOL You seriously need to stop referring to TEMS as an object. It's a function... You didn't buy TEMS....You bought struts that were equipped with tems.

Those are not stock springs. That's what lowered your car. tems didn't do it.

The garage cut the wiring for the tems actuators?
IMO that's what you get for being lazy.

DO

Ummmm yea titanmotorsports and suprastore.com have a package for 870 including 4 eibach springs, 4 tems compatible tokico illuminas struts, and 2 sway bars, which I ma ordering as I have the same problem you did, I just drive it like this till I can afford the kit, maybe that woulda been easier then screwing up and wasting money then having to go back and do it right, no trying to be a dick but I have learned being Lazy, Cheap, or Ignorant can cost a lot on cars. I know how it is to not have money for mods, I face it everyday next time make due till you have enough for what you need and GOOD LUCK :)

This nice guy sold me his Struts and cut+welded springs on ebay. Listed them as "EBC 2" Lowering springs". What a great guy.

Your car rode like crap because you or someone slaughtered the springs.

Wait, you didn't have enough money for the TEMS shocks, but you had enough for the non-TEMS shitties + installation? Please explain that to me.

As for the TEMS wires, they come out of the main harness that runs to the cruise control, boost pressure sensor, and injector pulse thingy (metal rectangle with fins right next to the TEMS on the fender). The mechanics might have taped up the hole from the wires with electrical tape, good luck.
