need some suspension parts advice!!

hey guys.. im wondering if anyone has any local shops or yards (east bay preferably, but anywhere in the bay would work) that i might be able to pick up some suspension pieces for my 02 wrx sedan from for a reasonable price.

basically about a week ago i managed to back into a curb pretty hard and completely jacked up the passenger side rear suspension. control arm is bent, as well as a couple other connecting rods... camber and toe are also completely messed up right now and after about 500 miles i can see that the tire has worn through to the steel belting.

im fairly sure that im going to be needing an entire rear passenger suspension setup, since i cant tell exactly what has been damaged.. so i will most likely be calling around to local pick and pull shops, but i was thinking someone else might have some parts laying around, or perhaps some better advice or a direction to point me in.

thanks in advance for the help!!

East Bay... I'd start with GST Motorsports or GB Motorsports. Start there and work your way out.

I actually just need the suspension parts, not someone to put them in.. Im pretty confident I can get the labor done, I'm really just hoping someone might have some advice on where I might be able to pick up some used suspension parts at a decent price. Anyone have any advice in that regard??

I have a passenger rear strut from a 02 WRX I can sell you

As far as parts, yeah, GST and LIC, or the classifieds and craigslist.

Call the shops. You never know what they have lying around the shop. Not to mention, they'll probably know where the parts came from.

You can always try Rancho Cordova or LKQ in Stockton. Google them for their contact info if you'd like. Good luck!
