At any of our houses.... They should be really easy to put in and many of us have the tools.... I've never done an xA, but I've done two tC's without a hitch

Yeah, I think there is a step by step install thread in the xA forums somewhere, was reading it once a while back, just have little to no tools and no where dry to do it.

should be a breaze.... ok.. the rears at least... should be... since its just about identical to the xB..... 15min to do the rears.... jack up... undo 1 bolt each side i believe... take off old... slide on new... rebolt...... fronts took a bit longer... 1st one came off easy... 2nd one was a P.I.T.A... had to take a 1hr break to go buy a aircompressor an impact wrench... had i had those... probably about 45min-1hr tops

Well, they ship tomorrow morning, may print out the tech walkthru that is in the tech forums and a buddy here at work says he has the tools and shop to get out of the weather so, hopefully I can get these on by the weekend, if they ship as fast as other things I've bought off the net, fingers crossed.

The xa isn't that tough. thefoth and I did mine...and his.

We did mine first, that's why it took a little longer. It took us a while because we couldn't figure out that it's just a small plastic cap on the top of the strut. We kept trying to remove the metal ring that is there. Plan for a few hours though. It's not hard, it's just tedious. On the front, you have to remove the whole wiper cowel to get to the back screw on the strut tower. It's the big black metal part in the back of the engine bay. It's not difficult to remove but again, that's what took most of our time before we figured that out.

Other than that, it's fairly smooth. :)

I believe club Scion Evolution is having a install day next Sunday.
I saw the thread on a scionevolution.com forum. I do not know if
you are a member. You could pm Dustin or Kekia (kkawana) about
joining and getting the group to install it for you. Can not get much
easier than that.
