how do i get to the last bolt holding the rear shock/spring assembly on... the one thats towards the back seat... i got the two towards the trunk off fine, but i can't figure out how to get to the last one... somebody please help me... i got the front springs on and the car looks absolutely sick, i ran outta sun light trying to figure out the rear bolt, damnit! somebody on the forum posted a basically "how to" with pictures and everything when he was installing his TRD springs, but i can't find it anywhere, that would be really helpfull. if anyones wondering what springs i'm installing, they're Skunk2.... 2.5in in the front but looks like it could be 3in... and 2.4-2.5in in the rear.

if you are talking about the front of the three bolts of the rear strut, they should be seen on the other side of the piller, if you have the seats forword and the rear side panels out you'll see them, p.s use flashlight,
the intructions are on www.yoursciontc.com

If you are talking about the bolts on the top of the strut you have to remove a lot of the interior panels in the rear. If I remember correctly I had pretty much had the whole car stripped from the front seats back. Took maybe about a half an hour to do so.

Its called, use your senses and feel for it ;)

ie....socket wrench?

no ____ dip____

damnit... i was hoping there was an easier way than having to take the interior apart, but i figured i would have to.... oh well, thanx guys

you can sneak a 14mm wrench in there
i did mine without taking apart any of the side panels

I took all my back panels and such out...

Put the back seats down. Now stand at the back of the car. The point where you just folded the seats, look for a small plastic panal, about the size of bic lighter. Take that off. You'll find a bolt and remove that. Remove other panals you find and take off those bolts also. And I think things went naturally from there.

that seems to be the standard procedure with toyota. i came from a honda where everything was separate. but there are ways to get around taking everything out as others have discussed.

too low for my taste. i dont like the tucked look of the front wheels. i love the way the back sits though.

nice job.
