Those are the ones, they work great and they are only around 65$~ from Napa!
As far as the washers, i didn't have to use any additional hardware ... i have pics of installing them as well.

I think he had to run some additional washers at the top mount because the stud length was a little long.

Bump for correct information. Great shocks, but don't exspect to get them right away. After checking 3 places, i had to settle for one ordering them from chicago. Took 3 days to get in and cost me $71 with shipping. The box had a good ammount of dust on it so these must not be very popular. They work great so thanks to those who did the research before me. You must use washers if you use the stock scion upper mounting hardware. I found that (6) 3/8" washers worked nicely. Here are some pics of the install (camera phone - sorry).

Someone had to supervise Randy. If he hadn't kept an eye on you, his car would have pulled out of your garage with the lower thirds of the doors cut off and so much troll hair hanging from the headliner he couldn't see out the windows.
