Probably installed to try to copy or upgrade to the OEM TEMS that came with Turbo Supras as of 1990
No, that was an HKS aftermarket part originally sold as a package with HKS branded TEMS compatible shocks and matching lowering springs with a stiffer springrate. IIRC the springs were light blue and the shocks were white or grey with HKS branding, made by Tokico or KYB, it's been 20+ years since I saw a set of them.
All were discontinued in the early-mid 90's with the launch of the HKS Hypermax I coilover lineup, along with the now-vintage-iconic HKS purple and polished silver color scheme.

The HKS TEMS controller works fine with any other TEMS compatible shocks though, and can force a setting to 'firm' manually without relying on the factory MKIII TEMS computer to decide when you need it set to 'Firm'.

Looking at your pic, it looks like that car has an aftermarket shifter too.

^^What @Wreckless said. I had this HKS set-up on my first MKIII turbo, a brand new (at the time) 1990 model. Typical, top notch HKS quality and operated just as @Wreckless described.

Ah the memories! I bought one of these controllers for my mk3 back in 1996 and was so excited I could add more buttons to my shifter area. Brings back memories of driving the 90 supra with the targa off and blasting music.
