There is a store in Tacoma that seems to sell Truhart coilovers and rear camber kit.
SpeedZone I guess.

Heard of them?

Yes I have heard of them. Cant believe their still around. Last time I even seen their name on a forum was 7-10yrs ago lol.
I don't know much about them and there just off of I-5 and Bridgeport way.
Other than that, I cant help you about them. Go to www.yelp.com and punch in Speedzone in Tacoma. That should help you save gas lol

Because I am only going to buy parts from them and not any work on the car, yelp isn't needed right now.
But who knows, things might change in the future.
Right about now, anyone.
http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/pts/4396587946.html : According to their craigslist link, they seem to be selling the truhart rear camber kit for $60 ( not really clear and their math is off ).
I asked for a quote for some parts, so that I know what to expect if I take a drive down there.
But as we all know, I am trying to get this car de-riced as fast as possible, so I am grabbing what ever I can find, as fast as I can find it.
Later on I can change up as I see fit.
Ah crap, so that is why I have so many car parts....(facepalm)

Man dont do that. Just suck it up and wait it out until you can buy the better parts that you will end up buying eventually. If you buy stuff to get you by, it will just take longer. I would suggest getting HardRace toe arms if needed and rear camber kit. I would trust their bushings much more than anybody elses kit.

Well in conclusion this is what happened.
1. Went out and spent hundreds on a hydraulic jack, 3.5 ton that has a 22" lift (lifting the rear high enough to get jack stands under the car is a real bytch) and impact sockets.
2. Unboxed my BRAND NEW BWR subframe brace and LCA's.
3. Took off the stock sway bar and LCA's.
4. Tragedy struck.
Here is the list of the mayhem:
1. BWR might have given me TWO RIGHT SIDED LCA's.
The 'Made in the USA' carved into them, which I am assuming should be in the back when bolted to the car, is always in the front of one of them. I say that they should be in the back because
1. My stock end link bolt bolts into them only on that side.
2. When situated correctly, the SN is always upside down on the left side.
2. My right trailing arm is messed up, so even if I had tried to put in the LCA, it wouldn't have gone in.
The stock lca is grounded down to make it fit into the messed up trailing arm space. ( FUC ALL LAZY PEOPLE .)
Instead of buying a new trailing arm so that everything fits correctly, the lazy fuc of a previous owner decided to grind down the LCA instead.
So after hours of tearing everything down and cleaning it getting it ready for some brand new parts, I had to put everything back.
Oh wait, how can I forget? I didn't put back the sway bar because it's rusted out. Not anyone's fault, but it simply put a big turd on top of an already turdy day.
I'll post some pics of what I had to deal with and see what you guys think.

Ok, so this is how my yesterday went with pics.
Bought a craftman 3.5 ton hydraulic jack to lift the rear of the car, which is already 11 inches off the ground, high enough to put jack stands under that go give me enough clearance.
Keep in mind that occured after I had to return two jack. One for not having enough lift range and the other because a wheel on the jack fell off.
So car is raised and the sway bar and lca's are removed. No broken bolts because I soaked everything in WD40 for days.
Then I discovered this:
The right bolt is holding my hub to the trailing arm and the left is what is holding my right strut.
So from my understanding, two things that should have their own nut attached, doesn't.
Again, original owner, go take a bath in hot, deep fryer oil you cheap dumb fuc.
I decided to move on because atleast it will hold until I get a new trailing arm and coilovers, so time for the install.
Keep in mind that I sold by blox and bought these because I wanted to have my stock endlink bolts fit in the lca in the proper location.
These LCA's do fit my stock end link, but there is a catch:
( Those two picture are of below the LCA's, so flip them over and that is how they go on the car. Unfortunately, ONLY ON THE RIGHT SIDE. )
So, if you understand what is going on, when both lca's are on the right of the car, the 'Made in the USA' engravement is on the back ( facing the front of the car ) and that is the only side the end link bolts would screw in.
I couldn't believe it. I twisted these things in every way possible believing that I had to be doing something wrong....LOL
So I'm like ok, I could atleast put these on and then buy a left side or another set from Blackworks or something, and sell these. These are going on, nothing can stop me damn it.
But then everything came to a 100% halt. The right side trailing arm is caved in.
So do you know what the original owner did to make the stock lca fit, the bytch shaved / grinded the lca to the contour of the bend on the trailing arm.
I am too fuccing pissed to take pictures of that stupid mess.
So I had to put the stock parts back on and I'm in discussion with this site to see what is happening with my bwr lca's.
To everyone out there, please don't cut corners. IF you do, don't sell your car.

That sucks donkey balls!!!
Hope you get everything situated and get the car back on the road again. Pick N Pull just picked up a 98 DC last week. Im going to run over there and see if they have a passenger headlight.
I will look to see if they have a trailing arm that isn't modified by a cheap fawker

Now you know why I don't go out of my way to meet some of these fucs.
IF your car is broken and you're hard up for cash, I'll quicker loan you the money or help you fix your car rather than help you butcher it.
Yeh man, I have read your thread and to me it's a little worse than mine.
How? It's more electrical screw ups.
