    The camber is on the wrong end of the car.

    Front camber: racecar
    Rear camber: douchecar

      I'm not qualified to say it's effective, but looks alright to me.
      205s are big tires?

        Didn't you know, the letters in the word "Toyo" are specifically shaped to grip in snow AND dissipate water? These stance blokes are years ahead of us, using all that sidewall rubber for extra grip.

              Lol, I have just as much room to state my opinion and bash on your taste because it isn't the same as you have for mine :)

              Honestly though, the car is plenty nice, it just makes no sense to me

                I like stance to a point, but there is a lot of examples of people taking it way to far with the whole poke and stretch thing.

                      Stretching your tires, to me at least, is just retarded. The whole point of having an E30 is that it handles amazingly, and in not buying tires and wheels that fit your car properly you're taking away from that.

                        Eh it's not like we are kidnapping all the stance guys, then tar and feathering them. They can do what they like, and some of the more mild stance cars look great. Others aren't so hot to me, like this one, Way too much stretch and poke in back and sunken tuck up front. I don't really like the way it looks but then again I prefer the function follows form style so naturally I wouldn't.

                        Yes, if I meant the owner in person I would say that the style isn't my preference, and the camber is on the wrong end, but I never said the car is garbage or the guy has bad taste.

                          I can still outrun Boxters and other e30's in the twisties :D Then again, my tires aren't really "Stretched" per say...

                                The whole point of stretching tires[in the real world] is for drifting. since you burn up tires so fast, why buy the proper size when you can buy a cheaper smaller size that will work right? The added stretch helps the sidewall not to flex & un-bead while being thrown sideways. also, the stretch and camber adds for a small contact patch, and in the case of drifting, you don't want traction. so using undersized tires allows for the driver to break traction easier and slide all day long. :D

                                in the case of the picture shown. looks tacky as ever on the car
