Was wondering if there are any other TEMS compatible struts besides the Illuminas and where is a good place to get a good price?

Also I know a lot of you guys have Eibach springs. How smooth is the ride quality compared to stock springs?

Thanks in advance

Tems compatible shocks are expensive.

You can get bilsteins for around the same price if your willing to ditch tems but they have lifetime warrenty and if you get them from kragen or autozone they will just exchange shocks for free when there blown.

Eibachs ride pretty smooth like stock. I have eibachs and to me its like slightly stiffer stock lowering springs.

Eibachs are stiffer, but still comfortable. As for TEMS compatible struts, they are expensive as hvyman said. I went with KYB GR2's from the local Advance Auto Parts and ditched TEMS on my N/A. Lifetime warranty and dont cost that much. Ive heard lots of good things about the Bilsteins too, so I'll look into purchasing those for my Turbo when my Illumina II's blow.

Yes I saw the price tag on the Illuminas, which is why I asked if there was a cheaper alternative to them lol, and still keep the TEMS system.
Where's a good place to get Blisteins at?
Gelboy, does that mean you're leaving TEMS behind when your Illuminas give in?
