you may need to go fast, take a sharp turn... and make sure its wet, and you should go completely sideways

^^oh yeah...pullin up the e-brake will work improve results...I haven't tried this on my camry...I lover her too much! In fact I can't even get her to spin the front tires on wet pavement (18X8 keep her STUCK to the pavement...it sometimes will on the metal plates/spacers on bridges though)

I have seen it done on a beater ricer (geo sumpin-nother with rims and fart can exhaust).

Cool

Swap the rear sway bar, make the entry to a turn in the correct manner and the car will step way out.

E-brake works, unfortunatly being a Drum-in-Disk setup it is a very weak brake, chews shoes quicky, and is a bitch to change.

Cool

Whiteline owns. Supposidly it's between the TRD bar's two settings, but I never believed that. I don't know anyone that's back to bakc tested either .
I love mine! There isn't anything else you can do for the money that makes such a huge differance.

The whiteline bar is just strong enough to bite you in the ass if you're really not paying attention; not so strong and stiff that it clunks around, and doesn't get in the way of normal driving.
