static offset on stock body
 

hi guys, i’m trying to get my 86 to be more static and i’m having a hard time trying to get information on wheel specs n such. i’m tryna see if i can run BC extreme low coilovers with 10 inch wheels in the rear and 9.5 front with 225/35/18’s all around with lower control arms but not sure which ones to get, i was thinking of just getting SPC’s for that toe adjustment, and what offset would be best for camber for the front and rear? i see people having like super deep dish rims and i just dunno pls help!

I had to google what static meant IRT cars.

I pity humanity

Most people in this section of the forum are interested in improving the performance of the car, not wrecking it. Wheel and Tire and Suspension is where you want to be.

I don't think he's even using the term correctly. How do you get more static than stock?

Does he want to be more static than static? Is that like more human than human? Is Philip K. Dïck rolling in his grave by now?

Ice Road Truckers?

An explanation for the old guys from some dude on the internet:

"stance is a broad term for lowering your car and fitting wide wheels that fill up the wheel wells. Static is a form of stance where the car is lowered via static suspension components such as coilovers. While coilovers are adjustable they cant be adjusted without lifting the car and spending 30 minutes with a wrench. Static means the caris stuck at that ride height. The opposite to this is bagged cars which use airbags similar to the hydraulics on lowriders. These can be easily raised or lowered with a switch at an instants notice. Typically the static folks like to think they are more hardcore or dedicated because they arent afraid of destroying their carevery time a speed bump comes. The bagged guys are viewed as semi cheating since they can put the car at any ride height they want and if they park super low its not a badge of honor that they drive that low like a static dude. I think the whole phenomenon is stupid with a special emphasis on how dumb static cars are."

An example from the old days. Hey old guys, you do remember at least one of these in your neighborhood (county) ??

You’re gunna want that offset well into the -20’s or even -30’s.

Alternatively, you could be not lazy and do your own math to figure out how many offsets you need to make your car useless.

I can't find it - when applied to automobiles - ??

Maybe my Google is not big enough - :iono:

i'm completely lost in this thread.

static is how i used to shock my sister after i'd scrub my socks on the carpet.

IRT is the sound windshield wipers make as they move across dry glass.

i have no clue what either of these things have to do with lowering a car.

WAT automobiles

Soooo isn’t static waaaayy too mainstream, bro? Like everyone and their mom has static ride height!

Back in the day, some idiots would remove leaf springs in the rear to where frame would sit on the axle. If that wasn't low enough, they would heat the remaining spring with a torch until it was.

Then they would heat the front coil springs until the front part of the frame would rest on the cross member. If that didn't get the front low enough, one would simple cut some of the coils out of the springs.

Back then, we didn't call it "static", we called it "stupid".

:iono:

I'm going to use wooden blocks to replace my shocks, that will be as static as 10 static things.

All the womens will want me, all the mens will want to be me, well, maybe just all the kids up to the age of 16 who think doing dumb shit is cool.

Warning- old man rant

Back when clouds didn't annoy me, i.e. in my youth, we tried our best to make our cars and bikes go fast, and fast around corners, nowadays it seems the goal is to make your car handle like shit IOT impress other young males....not there is anything wrong with being a homosexual, it's not my bag, but, if you feel the need to impress stange young males go for it, it's a free world and your sexuality should not be questioned.

PS: Don't dis acronyms man

Internet Of Things?!?

Thanks, it really turned out to be useful!

We're here for you

You're here for us

I can't help with your specific question, but I think you're misusing the word "static". In stance culture (which I was into in college), "static" is simply a word for someone who is slammed on coilover suspension and set at a certain ride height, rather than being able to raise and lower the car with air bags. It really has nothing to do with wheel specs.

Oh for crying out loud. I was just starting to be able to accept "fitment" as a real word and now I have to change to "static"?

For those still wondering what IRT means:


In Regards To

You never embraced #hellaflush?

Well at least, unlike "fitment" people realize that hellaflush is a made up word so I can live with it.

Static means it's not changing. Unless you leave everything loose, you'll be static. We all hopefully run static fitment by this definition.

The static fitment of hellaflush mag rims is sic yo.

Oh now, Tcoat, you remember - :D

I think you all ran the poor kid off.
I thought that to use 10 inch wheels new spindles and hubs and brake setups were needed

Nah. I was more the 70s when we did the opposite dumb shit to our cars.

i will quite joyously say death to hellaflush. What type of moron does it take to say,"hey that show car looks awesome, I want to drive my car 1" above the pavement at all times."

Wait but even the flush boi is poking?? :D

i don't see a difference between mexiflush and flush...

Or "in relation to"

Or "Im really terrible"

I meant it as in relation to...meh

It's all about the static, static is everything, I will be taking donations for "offset" offset use to be everything, now offset is only something.

P.s. I really never got into "fitment", maybe it's a age thing?

Lolwut

This thread gave me COVID...
