    why I don't like stance



    I like this car but it's lack of effective tire contact bugs the bejebus out of me. I realize it's most likely on coilovers and I'm being the crotchedy but it my opinion.

    Ehh. Don't know if the contact patch sucks or the ground is wavy, but that's still a big tire no?

    I'm not qualified to say it's effective, but looks alright to me.

        The stance thing is no different than installing a universal aluminum rear wing, loud exhaust, vinyl decals, and body kits.

        All of the above items are horribly executed attempts to mimic what you may find on a legit racecar. A low ride height, wide wheels, and extreme camber is no different.

        When you sacrifice acceleration, handling, comfort AND component longevity in exchange for props from your bros in a parking lot then you are just doing it wrong.

          Nice car. Gay rear wheel/tire sizing.

              not a fan of what it does to driving, give me hr sports with billys all day long. That being said, their branding and promoting skills are excellent(stanceworks)

                I'm new to this site, but I can't imagine this dead horse being beat into anything but the Earth's core at this point.

                In any event, this argument has been done a million times, the width of the internets. Stance guys want appearance, and will argue that their car performs just as well as what 99% of street-BMW drivers do on a daily basis.

                Personally, I don't like it, for appearance reasons. It's just not my thing.

                  Eh. When part of your tire isn't touching the ground, you've gone too far.

                    umm does only one other person see that this road is uneven/wavy.

                    It was likely done on purpose to exaggerate the camber effect, just to piss you guys off,lol.

                    its the same concept as parking in high grass to make the car seem hella slammed

                          Not really my thing, i like looking at them but don't feel the need for a stance car. I like the folks @ Stance Works though.
