Does anyone know who sells KYB Shocks in Brisbane?
My left front TEMS shock has decided to let go. I have thought about getting stockers (non TEMS) but have heard they are a bit soft.
Cheers, Brad

I run standard Non TEMS in my TT Track car..They were GREAT :-)
Even an R33 GTR had trouble doing me on the corners.

Thanks Neil. What are they like compared to TEMS in terms of ride if there could be a comparison? i.e. Power Mode vs Standard Mode.

In many Soarers I doubt that TEMS will actually make a difference (I know in my 93 it didn't) so don't worry too much about it. Plus, the non-TEMS shocks should be reasonably cheap from Toyota.

Thanks Jose, I'm not too worried about losing the TEMS (although I do notice quite a difference in mine between modes), I just can't justify the 900-$1000 per shock.
I just don’t want the car to be too soft. It sounds like the non TEMS would be OK, just depends on the price required for the KYB’s. If they are way more expensive than I’ll go the stocker’s.

If I was in your position Brad , I would be getting some Bilstein's in from the Sates , I know they make them for the LS so maybe you can get them for the Soarer , maybe GS units would fit ?
