the front shocks on my soarer are blown and its TEMs suspension. i was wondering if it would be cheaper to go with coilovers or just replace the front two shocks with oem ones, unless there is cheaper aftermarket ones i can buy to replace the blown shocks? would i have to replace both TEMS as well when changing the front shocks?
please and thank you guys!

I would imagine it would be far cheaper to get replacement oem ones rather than fork out to replace all four with coil overs as I don't think you'd want to be running front coils and rear tems.

OEM TEMS airbag is roughly $1700 each from what I hear, ex Castle Hill Toyota. Maybe a bit less from NZ or UK. That's why many prefer coilovers when the time comes.

Given he has a TT listed as his ride, I assumed it was not an airbagged 1UZ. Happy to be corrected though

Yeah, you can still have TEMS without airbags, Vincent.
