Mike, if we are staged together I think 55mph is all I can recommend you run with that wing. Up or Down

Slicks are a whole new playing field -- looks like some fun times ahead if you do get them. Personally, I'd say stick with street tires for now, but all up to you.

I do want to test out my nitrous to make sure everything works fine, though. It'd be nice if I finally got that 11 sec run as well -- so close, yet so far.

Weird, another member PM'd me a few days ago with almost the same question. I don't know how much that arm is or if it's even the right one but I'd never spend money for an OEM part to replace a perfectly fine OEM part. Only the ball joints had gone bad and the install was easy. All of my experience with various ball joints are posted in that thread (and in this thread, too).

Tempted to run down to Toyota and get some transmission fluid and do a drain and fill on the Camry. I am lazy at the same time and not wanting to do anything that involves manual labor.

I only spoke to that other blue Z guy briefly before he took off, but he was just spectating.

There was a Solar Orange HR that showed up later. He wants to get into drifting.
