Well well well folks... I got em! I started to doubt whether or not this day would ever come.

But I am happy to report that I'm now in possession of a brand spankin new set of Tokico Illumina IIs.

2x EU3634 + 2x EU3635

Indeed multiple retailers are stocking these now. Also, there's even a seller on Ebay that has a few of them.

If you think you might ever want these, I'd get em while you can because I don't imagine Tokico will be producing a massive quantity of these for too long considering that our cars are all 20+ years old. Happy hunting!

Great news!
I might have to dig out my TEMS actuators again & swap back to the stock system.

Awesome! Where did you get yours? Also, if you don't mind me asking how much did they run you?


Edit:

Have you found out if they are the 5way adjustable ones or are they just the basic three way ones like the OEM ones?

If you want TEMS, I think there is only "Tokico Illumina II" for the MK3. At least I know that it was the same back in '99 when I got them on my previous 91T. I am actually shocked that I was able to get the same classic setup as before all these years later. (Eibach,Tokico, ST Sway Bars).

It all gets installed next week :biggrinbo

They are on 5% off sale right now at Andy's Auto:

Also, it looks like an additional 10% off code can be applied for a big savings. BALLSTAT

Wow. I just checked with 3 retailers that had these a few weeks ago when I was looking. They are all gone now. Also, that Ebay seller sold all 5 sets. One contact that I talked back and forth with extensively said he cannot get ahold of these until Dec 2014. Looks like they are totally sold out for a little while again. From my conversation with a prominent supplier, he said Tokico ships all the "parts and pieces" for these to Motovicity, who then builds them at their warehouse under strict guidelines from Tokico. It is probably the case that Motovicity only built a certain amount for the first batch, and now that they all sold out, they will probably have it on their books to build more down the road.

Glad you got yours. Hopefully the demand will allow them to make enough and not be so hard to get.

Got everything installed on Saturday. Super happy to report that my Supra feels about TEN TIMES more stable and planted on the road now. I had forgotten how awesome this setup was. It's smooth, yet precise, and bumps and dips in the road are now handled with ease, whereas before I sometimes felt like I was piloting an old boat.

All told, this full suspension upgrade (Eibach/Tokico Illumina/ST Sway bars) cost me about $1,600 installed.... and worth every penny. :icon_bigg
