Stancing?
 
http://www.rallyxd.com/rallyxd/wp-co...op-slammed.jpg
How many of you like slamming/flushing/stancing?
What is the appeal of it? I don't get it at all.
Not trying to flame but I'm sincerely curious as to whats so "sick brah" about it. :iono:

86_ZN6 10-31-2012 03:57 AM

all for show!

Guff 10-31-2012 03:58 AM

Some like the look. Some don't.


That is all.

Because its nice. Some like it some dont. Just dont go too far with it. Like that celica is ridiculous.

Thats a nice brz though

The style of massive camber evolved from the VIP scene, that scene happens to be a personal favorite of mine, particularly in japan. On the right cars, it is classy, bold, and aggressive. The brz/frs/celica is not a VIP car, and as such, the style looks out of place and bizarre. That particular BRZ looks as dumb and confused as a child that pooped its diaper playing in a sandbox.... Messy as hell and wreaks of desparation.

I'm thinking another word that begins with s..."stupid!"

Go > Show
Function > Form
Coil-overs > Stance.

But I'm an engineer, so whatever :)

Truth^^ but even within that scene there are some cars that you scratch your head. For example: G35/7 sedan and Coupe. The sedan looks good that way but you do it with the coupe and its just doesn't work.

CaptainSlow 10-31-2012 09:13 AM

Similar to a rat rod...people make their cars look broken to fit in with a certain crowd that enjoy the look of broken-looking cars.

jadewbj 10-31-2012 10:49 AM

I like it on cars that are not meant to be performance driven. Since you cant really take advantage of the fun of having a sports car when you are stanced. I do think it looks good though.

BioRage 10-31-2012 10:49 AM

haters gonna hate.

dale.m 10-31-2012 11:04 AM

I have a different take on stance that the hellaflush crowd. Stretched tires and poke just don't do it for me. I think a car has a good stance when its lowered but functional and has big meaty sticky tires that are ready to go on a time attack. To each their own though...

What is that thing? A future UFO flying saucer?

JDMenrique 10-31-2012 11:12 AM

I can honestly see why on non-performance/econo cars, just something to do I guess. But to do it on a car like this, performance oriented/track inspired... it blows my mind.

At the end of the day to each his own.

If you want people to look at your car when it's parked you could also duck tape a moose head to the roof, same effect as flush.

gmookher 10-31-2012 12:10 PM

automotive equivalent of wearing your pants so low they show your undies

unless youre a hot female stripper, pull them jean up, and get a proper alignment...

I dont find the look classy or high end, looks ghetto and stupid imho

theres rarely a call for more than 3-4 degrees of camber...

same with the craze of 'strectching a tire onto 10" wide rims'

is that supposed to look cool? When I see it I figured the guy ordered the wrongs size and couldnt sell them on ebay to get a size that fits.. thats NOT good modding

Kunzite 10-31-2012 12:16 PM

I don't understand why cars with broken suspensions would look "better"... :iono:

gmookher, it's rather the equivalent of wearing your undies over your pants; yes, Superman did that but it still looks silly.

xxscaxx 10-31-2012 12:22 PM

Stanced doesn't mean -6 camber and stretched tires just so you know. There are so many opinions on what "stance" really is.

There is a limit and when its pushed, it rarely looks that great. This is coming from a guy who had a "stanced" STi too lol.

With the BRZ I will go for a wider wheel, but nothing that takes crazy amount of work to fit, and is flush with the body. Yes I will be low. To me, that makes the car look 10x better than it on a 10-15mm drop with small ass wheels. I understand this is a "performance" car, but that doesn't mean it has to look a certain way in order to perform.

Wes 10-31-2012 12:26 PM

is it just me or is the right tip crooked?

You guys all have your heads up your asses... It comes down to simply having a low car, and trying to do your best to fill up the wheel wells, because it makes the car look complete. People that don't like it don't understand why people would do it, those of us that do it don't understand how a car with super sunk wheels and a high ride height can be appealing. It's just an appearance thing, and looks are subjective. These retarded ufo looking cars are just a japanese vip style thing, and no one really does that.

As for all you people saying things about broken suspension and how the car is ruined etc, get off your high horse... If you've never driven a car with this sort of setup, then you're in no position to talk. Every car I've owned for the last 7-8 years has been low with low offset wheels, and I've tracked all of them, and daily driven most of them. Now I'm not going to argue that the suspension geometry is optimal if you just throw on coilovers and spin them all the way down, but I'll bet that most of the people shit talking it are nothing more than benchracers that don't even track their cars.

Its no use trying to explain. Every week there is a new thread with the same shit going on.

Stance is like fake breasts on women: when done right, it can look really good. However, some people just don't believe in such a thing as "too much".

You say that, but on the IS300 forum, after about a year of arguing and getting banned, people started to not be a bunch of ignorant fucks... Then shortly after that, half of the people that constantly told me how stupid this shit was were trying to figure out how to make their cars all hellaflush hyphy stancenation cool brah.
