Anyone installed shocks?

Hi y'all. I've got a set of TRD shocks and springs but the included instructions don't really explain a whole lot for the shocks. Anyone done an installation of any brand of shocks and have pictures? Would help out a lot!

Yeah, this showed how to remove the front strut, but the rear strut wasn't covered. That's the one thing I'm having trouble with. Oh well, because of school and my new 3am to 8am job at UPS, it's going to be a a while before I can put these in.

But cm07yaris, I just might take you up on that! I'm going to be going up in wisconsin to look at Northland College when I have some available time. Where in Wisconsin are you?

the rears are really easy, the top bolt is under the plastic cover in your trunk, and the
bottom is easy to see once you jack up the car and remove the wheel.

If you have instructions for the springs, you're all set.

Rears are easy theres two nuts on each post under the plastic caps, I needed an impact wrench for these. And one bolt on each strut underneath connecting it to the frame.

Fronts are the hardest part and something I'm having a little trouble with but I have one on and working and the other tomorrow. If the sway bar end doesn't reach the top to install then you'll need to jack up the arm.

Also a word of advice is use blocks and as many jack stands as you have.

I wrote the story for Siphon magazine on the install of the TRD components on the yaris with photos if that will help.

Wow, really? That would be pretty helpful, actually. Whatever happened to that magazine? I've been looking around everywhere for it for the past nine months, but I haven't seen any :frown:
