AWR Rear Mount Install -- Instructions
I know alot of people have these pieces but have been putting off installing them cause they heard it was a PITA. After procrastinating about 9 months, I finally did this last Fri night/Sat morning and it wasn't all that bad. I wanted to write it up so others would be motivated to do it as well.

I did this on my 2003 ES, manual trans with 11K. It took me about 5-6 hours but that was mostly trying to figure out how to do this. With these instructions, it could be done by 1 person in 3-4 hours, no air tools or special tools needed (except those listed below). Sorry for the lack of pics
