People stop spending too much of their time bitching about wheels one size too wider w/ tires 1 size smaller. Focus your frustration on why the fugg these people, who just bought their FR-S or BRZ, keep crashing instead! :happy0180:

Uh.. cuz we're not talking about slammed cars.

This thread is about "Hellflush", not slammed. You've mixed adjectives again.

The picture you posted is "slammed" but reasonably so for the environment that car competing in, just as my race car is low to the ground too.

This is hella-flush. Tell how this car does anything better.

I used the word 'slammed' cause i hate using hellaflush mmkay I've seen some pictures/vids of 'hellaflush' cars being used on the track. And i know a car with a more normal fitment will outhandle the toiletflush car.

You can do it with tricycles too... doesn't make "toiletflush" any more "cool"... or functional.

from what I can remember reading a while back, the whole hellaflush camber craze came from looking at drift cars who had excessive rear camber to actually reduce traction for better drift control. But who knows, people do stuff because it looks cool and want to do like everybody else! So yea, lowered and cambered cars drifting aren't hard to find since they "started it".
