1. Electronically adjustable shocks.
2. If you have a big TEMS button on your centre console, you have TEMS.

R Types have Bilstein shocks stock.
TEMS aren't that great, and by the time they hit 10 years old they are usually finished.

It turns out replacement TEMS shocks are quite cheap from Toyota though.

If you have TEMS then you will have buttons in the centre console, and some wires going to the top of your shocks.
In my old Supra I replaced the TEMS setup with Konis. I removed the electrics but the buttons stayed as I didn't want a big hole in the console.
