Does it matter how you put in the parts? Because I think i put one of the 2 middle washers and a bushing on backwards....

Your classes may have taught you everything, but what I say I have done. I have been driving hard for quite some time. I built and tuned my last car, where there is little to no aftermarket. I also drove the living crap out of it.
Dude, read my last sentance. Not only do I canyon race and road race my xb. I've built Drag cars, drift cars, and auto-x and road race cars. I've done it all. I've even worked on an Indy car. And trust me there is no other xb that will out handle me in the canyons, maybe in the tracks but definitely not the canyons. Why? Because I know my car and its limits, and I know how race at the limits.

I also see that you have a 22mm rear sway. Do you get alot of lift off oversteer with that?

I also know the limits of my car pretty good. I like to push it every once in awhile.

I drove the living ____ out of my old car, to learn how to drive. I don't really drive the Scion as hard, because it is still new. As far as I'm concerned to really drive the car it needs to be lightened and I don't want to gut it.

I finally had a chance to autox over the weekend and to me it felt like a big improvement. I was getting some decent times for once.

Yes, you'll want to fix it. the smaller part is meant to seat in the sway or control arm.

I can't really say. I'm usually already on the throttle by the time I hit the apex in the corners. If you really want I'll be glad to meet up with you and take you for a spin in my car. I'm sure you'd love my set up. 22mm Progress rear bar, Tein S Tech's, Koni Yellow's, SS Brake Lines, Powerslot rotors, Axxis ultimates, Motul RBF600 brake fluis, Dc Strut bar, Energy Prototype bushings, 5Zigen FN01R-C 16X7in and Azenis.

I don't really need to write this, but I'm going to anyway.

I have nothing new to add to this thread other than this mod did wonders for my handling and absorbing the many bumps that are found in my neighborhood. The "clunkiness" is gone when hitting a sharp bump/pothole. Even with my EasyStreet front struts, it's nice and tight and clunk-free after the addition of these bushings.

Thanks for taking the time to put this thread together.

sweet setup bro. we should run sometime, i have somethin similar. H&R Sport Cup Coilovers, Hotchkis front strut bar, 15x6.5 motegi trak lites, RT 615's, EBC Brake Pads and soon Progress sway and bushings because im reading this thread to find out what to look for and the best place to order somethin that will FIT with least modding in terms of bushings.

Finally did this today... learn from my mistake. Loosen each side a little bit at a time. Go all at once and you are liable to get your index finger smashed between the top bolt of the stock mount and the drive shaft. There is so much tension that it is very difficult to remove your finger.
