Call some autoparts stores... they can generally get anything you need in 24 hours...

I got mine from Kragen. Make sure you look online for coupons and discounts. I got over 20% off on my set for filling out a survey and other coupons.

I should have mentioned mine are the Echo struts. Regardless, they should be carrying the new xB struts...

The only parts stores around me that sell Monroes is Napa.
Echo front struts will be 1/2 inch shorter. Get the Monroe xB specific ones (72245) and they are exact replicas but ride so much smoother then the stock KYBs.
Discount tire cracks me up. 520 with an alignment??? Such a deal.

$520!? They have great deals on wheels and tires but man, that's asking an awful lot.

There's no modification needed for the echo struts. I got them because the xB struts weren't out yet. From what I hear and read, they ride just the same - smoother and more comfortable - but the echo struts will lower the front by 1/2in.

Dont ask them for scion struts, just tell them you already have the monroe part #. They will find them that way, and they are special order, so it will take 24 hours to get them from their main warehouse
Here is a link to where I got mine for 76 bucks each. The rears are only 26 bucks each. -10% off that price will be sweet.

Good deal. That's about what I thought you could do. You will love the ride quality after they are installed. Keep us posted please.
