Im looking for all the needed materials to do the AWD conversion. I know that people will say that it can't be done but I really dont care what they say! So if anyone know's where i can get a rear axle, drive shaft, and rear suspension please let me know...I wanna start this project ASAP!

Well... based on your wording... you're already in over your head...
here is a general parts list: ST165/185 rear diff (or custom wedge a different IRS diff), suspension parts, possibly rear spindles, backing plates, rotors and calipers. Rear sub-frames and rear drive axles. E154 AWD transaxle, driveshaft, possibly shift linkages, front inner axle shafts (from V6 5 speed camry, MR2 turbo, or Celica alltrac turbo)... AWD or RWD fuel tank or aftermarket fuel cell. A good welder, a very good fabricator, and a very good mechanic. Now here's my beef... since you don't seem to know what's needed... and since no one here has yet to complete an AWD conversion, where's the logic in basically calling everyone else "dumb" in thinking it's not easy to do, and then going ahead and asking these very people for a list of parts? A project like this is best done with trial and error. If you're looking for a list of parts that "bolt on" and go... it's not gonna happen. You can essentially use any independent rear drivetrain and "make" it work. I gave you a list... but it's very very general.
