Properly functioning racecars are also popular in Japan. They look nothing like those pics though.

Of course I agree. But like you said those are racecars or atleast cars built for racing. Now I would only call the "stanced" guys idiots if they tried to race them lol.

"Stance" always reminds me of Larry Craig. OP, I would also go with an RB kit to complete the totally 'tarded look.

Ultrastance!

Just driving them on public roads at all is dumb... I mean, if all you want to do is park them at meets to show off to other people with poor taste, more power to you... It's a waste of money and a waste of a sports car though. :P

Everyone on this forum is ruining their cars with shitty intakes that lose power, raspy fart cans, cheap coilovers (seriously, we consider KW to be a premium brand here? I'm pretty sure we're the only car community that does that), and wheels that are way too wide for our asthmatic 150hp engines. Most of the "hella functional" mods people do don't mean shit in terms of actual performance.

A racecar built for the street is both a shitty racecar and a shitty street car. Lets start being honest with ourselves about our Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements. Let people do what they want to their cars without looking down on them.

False. "Everyone" is not doing any of that.

When someone comes on here and says, "Hey look at my car and tell me what you think!", they shouldn't get butthurt when people tell them what they think.

KW actually is a premium brand if you buy their motorsports coilovers. Just look at the FXMD NSX, the Evasive FRS, the GST GC8 Impreza L, etc.... The V3 and Clubsport aren't bad for stock cars. They are probably too soft for a track car, but good for a daily driver if you are more concerned with comfort than performance. They are definitely far better built/valved than most Korean/Chinese/Indonesian built "JDM" coilovers.

People can do whatever they want with their cars, but a stupid trend is a stupid trend. It's literally making the car less functional and more dangerous to drive. It performs worse, and it looks stupid as hell to any car enthusiast with any sense... People are always going to comment negatively on it on public forums.

Pfft, NOPE! Come over to my Nissan forum and spend 10 minutes in the 240SX section and you will want to deep throat a gun barrel.

Zilvia?

I like it and give props to a person who does it correctly. It's a little costly for me as it would require a lot of suspension adjustments and needed parts. Then comes the part of searching for the correct stretch and tire size. To top it off, you are now limited to areas in which you know the road conditions and inclines.

I did it for a few years with my 240sx and 370z, it looks awesome, just costly and takes effort to maintain.

Hey OP, just in case you didn't know, we have a Norwegian forum at www.ft86.no
We've had a few meets, including an epic trip to Nürburgring and the Swiss alps :-)
