And through my life experiences there's a lot more crashes, injury, and death due to over confidence in their car due to their "proper" setup, and lack there of driving abilities.

But apparently everyone here that hates on it is apparently a competition racecar driver. Myself personally I "stance" my cars for daily driving, and may go play around at the local safe locations to slide around, if I'm driving one of my FR cars... I see absolutely no harm in my daily setups for what it is needed for at the time aka daily driving on road use and not racing around on public roads. Don't know about most guys on this board, but I got out the phase of needing to go WOT, etc. early on due to the low cost, ease, and availability of track time where I have lived previously. To this day, if it's a track day approaching different rims/tires go on and height/camber is adjusted which should be a given for most.

Maybe my viewpoint is different; I live in SoCal, where I see wannabe "hellaflush" guys everywhere, driving around on corded tires with their mad cambered Civics. I DO see them cause accidents, and I DO see them being a hazard on a near-daily basis.

If its not a danger to people in terms of on the road, it sure as hell is a danger to peoples eyes, because that shit is UGLY.

"Risky Devil".. oh.. I am sorry but I laughed when I saw that sticker on the windshield considering...

This one's my favorite. The "hoodrat" sticker is very appropriate.

I used to have a ton of respect for MotoIQ until I started reading more into their blogs and saw what they post up on their Facebook. I feel like if they don't like something they feel the need to bash on it and have everyone hate it as well. For example I was interning at a marketing company in which they showed up, took a picture of my FRS which I at the time just installed my Airrex suspension, and labeled it 'hellafail'. I feel like their classy-ness of a reputable blog/site has gone down drastically.



The saddest part of all of this is when people start bashing the owners of the car because they wanted to modify it the way they envisioned. The automotive scene is so screwed up by people telling others what to and what not to do.

People have different taste. At the end of the day, it's YOUR car and do as YOU please with it.

Seriously? That's just mean, the car is just lowered on stock wheels with no pretention to be "hellaflush". It just looks like a standard lowered car with plenty of space between the pavement and body.

Almost any car can take a few inches without having the problems the OP has shown. As I said before, I like seeing car with the hellaflush look, as far as driving them and owning one? No thank you.
