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) ??
