The MTEC springs sound good, but I'm afraid the installation looks like a PITA?

Checked the Kartboy DIY thread? That should prove helpful as far as general guidelines if not nearly exactly the same.

It's a totally different assembly.

Yes I just checked that one actually. this is done all under the car. The problem is the driveshaft is in the way. And the rear end is way over tightened so I can totally remove to make it easier. The part I am stuck at is getting the smaller drive shaft linkage through the black nylon tube in the new supplied adapter.

How do you dramatically change throws without changing the lever itself - which is accomplished more easily from inside of the cabin?

As a TRD USA part, any SCION dealer should be able to get you the instructions if it shipped without any.

No clue... It was all done from the bottom side. The difference is huge though. I probably wouldn't want it any shorter. It's perfect
