CAR: 1987 Cress with TEMS
ISSUE: Need replacement springs as the previous previous owner decided to butcher the shit out of them.

I was told that lowering springs from a Supra of the same year would fit, so I ordered them. After I received them I noticed that the diameter was too small. New springs are about 4.5" and old are about 6". Am I just going to have to say fuck it and toss the TEMS and get standard suspension? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I hope I don't get flamed to death for asking a repair question, after all I AM banned from TC.net.

^ yep and at the end of the week you'll get banned for asking dumb questions. From the sound of things you didn't do your homework and bought mk3 supra lowering springs, not MK2 supra lowering springs which is what will work. The MX73 Cressida (1985-1988) shares similar suspension with the MK2 Supra (1981-1986), not the MK3 supra (1986-1992). You also don't seem to understand what TEMS is... It controls the damping rate in the shocks to give you a sport and comfort mode and has nothing to do with your springs.

Next time do your homework, and I mean research, not asking people questions you can find the answers to yourself.

Toysport and 935 Motorsports suck. Don't buy from either.
