Here's what I did today:
Got my rear sway bar in and installed it, then decided to do the bushings while I was at it. I went to Lowes and told the man: 4" grade 8 bolt, nylon nut. But my stupid ___ get a 3.5" bolt. I tried for an hour to fit it before realizing my mistake... so stupid. But after that I bolted everything on nicely. Now my car handles like a go-cart lol can't wait to get my springs in and on.
If you find your Scion's steering is loose like I did, you need to switch the bushings. The Steering wheel is tighter than my moms Rav-4 sport and the rear sway definitely adds on how fast you can turn corners.

Edit: your setup is nice too btw. EXTREMELY unique lol If you get the $$$ put a supercharger in that thang and you'll have all the power you need. Plus some 26" tires and some mickeys lol (idk if they come in 4x100) and you'll be set!

Got the springs installed today! 
My mom's RAV-4 (Super) Sport and my xA. She still whoops me in any race lol 0-60 in less than 6 seconds o_O
I don't know if people still look at this forum lol, but if people do I got an idea. What do you think about putting yellow lights in the side mirrors and getting rid of the turn signal...? Like an F-250 has amber lights on the side mirrors... Comments? Lol I think it would look pretty sick...

I've been wanting to get the JDM supercharger kit for a while. Only issue is the four grand price tag LOL!
I've currently got 205/60/15s on it but I think I can fit 225/70/15s with spacers. And I can get more all-terrain tread options in that size :-)
I like the yellow and blue combo. That was one of the first things they taught us in theater: yellow and blue look good together.

Here's an idea for your dome lights that I did:
They're these little 12V double LED nodes every 2 inches on a wire. They use them in professional sign making and they come in every color under the rainbow. I used white ones, but I'm sure you can get amber.
They come with peel n' stick backing, so I stuck three inside the dome light under the lens and soldered the leads to the metal clips for the bulb. With the lens on it is just a ridiculously bright but otherwise normal looking dome light.

The Blitz supercharger isn't really worth all the money too... it really only provides a small amount of boost, but it is stand-alone and won't wreck your engine or fuel mileage... I may get one... if I win the lottery or something... lol
Some all-terrain treads would look bad ___ on the xA lol get that roof rack and strap it with lights, put a gas can in it, and the spare tire up there and people will be looking twice lol
---However, you might wanna think before you put too big of tires... the xA doesn't have a lot of torque (esp. autos) and you could be straining the tranny... (but I wouldn't care lol)
