Sure they're slammed but due to the PS, the body of the car is still not riding on the ground, as those Lexus's are.

I know back in the days when you can ride in the bed of trucks, mini trucks on air bags were the thing! Now it moved to sedans...

Didn't you guys read the previous posts... it's been confirmed that they are running on bags.

To each has their own but I'm surprised to see how many of you guys yak it up when it comes to a stance

Lol must have just skimmed over your post. My bad.

I like the look of flushness. No yak from me.

Oh and I was wondering when the 240s would start showing up in a thread mentioning stance.

I still "yak" it up when it comes to stretched tires. It's not clean at all, which is my preference. As you said though, to each their own.

It's a photoshop and the tires aren't stretched.

I'm aware of that but if you are going to do anything below stock height and have it look "clean" you are going to have pull the tires back a little, offset the rims, roll those fenders and add some neg camber for sure.

It must be a different flavor in NC but on the West Coast majority of the cleanest cars come from CA

I think we can all just... sit down and agree that those cars are yak-worthy.

It's all good. Variety is the spice of life. It's good that people like different things. It keeps the streets interesting. The pics in the opening post don't bother me either. Bags are a whole other ball game anyways. Those S2k's posted look nice too.

I for one, would never really static drop a car to be on it's belly. I actually like driving, and belly scrapers are just for creeping and cruising - more annoying than fun to drive imo. But I won't deny that I like the look (hence the pic in my sig), when it's done right.

Doing it right:
