4th Generation RSB and handbreaks...

i've been looking at a whiteline RSB for my gen4... i also like to play around with mates on the road and in paddocks by ripping the handbreak and having all that fun... my knowlegde on RSB and car suspension systems is limited, but will doing handbreaky's with an RSB do any damage to the car or RSB? thanks

if you going to trash the car around, you probably gonna damage something. The stock Rear Sway Bar should be strong enough for abit of bashing n sliding. But just remember the camry is a family car not a super sports car so don't bash it so hard

the Whiteline ones are 20mm and the TRD is 19mm
the TRD one is adjustable, the Whiteline isnt...

however, Whiteline do make an adjustable RSB for the Gen5s...

there are Front Swaybars avaliable for those who want them, just look here on the Whiteline catalogue:
http://www.whiteline.com.au/docs/catalogues/WL_02c.pdf (1.5mb)
look on Page 71 for Camry Swaybars.

i got myself a Whiteline RSB for my car a few weeks ago, and it makes a very nice improvement in handling
highly recommend it for those who are thinking about getting one

Oh only do handbrakies in the wet if you like your car. Your wheel alignment doesnt like handbrakies. Nor to tyres.

I've done it in a paddock, slick pan, make sure there are no pot holes or rocks. And as fun as it is, your car prolly doesnt like it lol. (slick pans are the safest and prolly the funnest, until you have to wash the car of the grime hahaha)

Oh another thing, if you are in an auto, keep your foot on the accelerator, even if gently, it pulls you out of trouble should it occur instead of spinning straight into it backwards, and it doesnt kill the gearbox when you spin the car backwards, wheels suddenly turning backwards while your gears are trying to go forward.
