What's your opinion on stance?

[razorcobra]

So I can basically come to the conclusion that too much lowering is horrible, but with the right suspension setup it helps with both looks and performance?

[smitche]

Yeah, too low = bad

[fronton]

yeah, notice in both pics the car is cornering and appears at least an inch lower over the rims that it is standing still. Those are track cars, not so much for daily potholes and speed bumps. Even so, most 'stanced' cars are much lower than this deceptive example. Here is the car on a straight

[ak-]

lol that M3 is still cornering. Look at this front wheel turn, rear wheel lift, and shadows!

Comparing hipster stance cars to purpose-built E30 M3 race cars is a reach whether they're cornering or not.

[flyboyx]

i don't see any relation between "stanced" and "hipster". "stanced" is more a relation to "ricer" i would say.

a lowered race car has a purpose, looks good and really has nothing to do with this thread. an e30 or any other pseudo sports car lowered an inch or two is tasteful. however, driving a slammed car with stretched tires rubbing inside the fenders on the street makes you look like a retarded ricer poser asshole. to go a step further, it is something stupid kids waste money on and normally grow out of at some point.

every time one of those guys breaks his oil pan or tears the valance off the front of the car, its kind of like god slapping you in the dick for being a dumbass. that makes me laugh.

I love it if it's done correctly. Most e30's I have seen just make me want to cry lol But to each their own. As long as you like it that's all that matters. I don't care for performance. Form> Function

[smitche]

Fact is "Function" = "opinion" / "Form" = "opinion"
a car enthusiast should be able to find appreciation in ANY modded car.
Can't argue when they are sitting still...

What are we now, the politically correct car scene?

[mulletman]

Screw that... a dumbass needs to be told they are a dumbass. How will they know otherwise?


It comes down to this: I'd rather drive my car than look at it. Some may feel otherwise. If you want to look at a car, get a poster.

[evandael]

coming back to this thread, this argument gets more embarrassing with each time it's brought up.

[flyboyx]

it does come up more often than it needs too but i think its a matter of members being more vocal about what is generally perceived as stupidity diluting the e30 gene pool.

[einhander]

It's fine for driving to a parking lot, standing around, looking at other cars parked in a parking lot, then driving home, then posting pictures of your car and a bunch of other cars and some dudes standing around the parking lot looking at the cars parked (in the parking lot).

Aside from that....it's stupid.
