    Well the front was cake. no problems, everything went on smooth. the rear tho..... wow that was horrible. Could not could not could not break that bolt on the bottom of the shock on either side. worked on it for 3.5 hours. nothing. had flood lights on the whole deal. lol.

    sprayed the heck out of it with kroyl and left it over night, picked up a breaker bar from my dads work and went at it this morning. boom no issues. rear went together nicely. all went back together fine. and shes done!

    pictures shortly. car is dirty with bird doo doo all over it. please excuse the appearance. Also please excuse any scratches or scrapes. Car was bought like this and is getting fully repainted in the spring.

    Suspension choosed was
    TRD Strutbar
    Tein S-Techs springs
    Tokyco HP Blue struts

    The patient before surgery


    Layed out the parts


    Working on the front


    Fronts done


    Front


    Strutbar installed


    The rear was a nightmare. That bottom bolt would just not move. Worked on it late into the night.


    Showed up back at my parents house bright and early


    She was ready to come down she said


    Finished!

    I remember the fun of doing springs on a scion. Gotta love having to rip the interior out of the rear to do it.

    Yea the rear sucked. Have to line up the rear mount before installing.
    Ill post up pics when I get home of her.

    I see nothing wrong with the tokycos. Would have went trd but the spring drop was too much for them.

    And my balt is in a pic as well as sisters cavalier so... lol
