I got mine and will probably try and install it tomorrow. One question is do you guys follow the instructions regarding the exact torque figures? I don't have sophisticated enough tools to measure that.
You dont have a torque wrench? It's a must half for any car junkie whether it be a $30 or $200 wrench. It's better than guessing the torque.

I would not guess... you should just buy a decent torque wrench for 70-120 $. It is still less than how much it would cost for you to pay someone to install it and you can do further DYI things, so its well worth buying one.
Well I gave it a shot. Not the easiest to do without ramps so unfortunately I'm going to have to find a mechanic shop or the dealership to do it.
dont feel too bad i didnt even bother trying to do it myself. took it to a mechanic i know. they put it on the rack and took them 45 mintues to do front and back. they said it would be very difficult to do it without a lift.

Ya I at first tried the install the rear without ramps cause I had problems getting the car up for oil changes, but since it was rwd it went up with one try instead of a many dozen tries.
One jack, two jackstands, and 1 buddy helping= 20 minutes, tops, to do the rear bar.
40 for the front since you have to remove a couple covers and the sensor.
Be glad it isn't a Scion tC. Four stands and lower the front subframe just to get access to the bushing mounts. With air tools it takes about 45 minutes for the front alone. I wouldn't even try to do it without air tools.
