What's your opinion on stance?

[smitche]

Alright, I tried to be subtle in my previous post, and I'm certain I will get no love here from this day forward, but the level of elitism in this post is mind boggling? Frankly, the degree of narrow minded ness is what I would expect on e46fanatics or bimmerforums, not here. Just because you don't like it, doesn't make it wrong. We, as car enthusiasts, should be promoting individualism and forward thinking, not name calling and stereotyping. You don't have to like it, but you should be able to have some appreciation for the work/effort/joy that was put into any modded car. Don't get me wrong, there are people out there that give their "group" of enthusiasts a bad name, but it's very rarely the majority, and you can take pleasure in the fact that most of those people either move on quickly or realize the error of their ways and change for the better.

My car cant even turn it handles so poorly. I just burnout until its pointed in the right direction.

so stanced means lowered or what?
I thought stanced ment hella flush rusty hoods ect.

[bangn]

im all for a car that looks neat and low.. but it has to be functional.

whats the point of owning a car that scrapes around corners and bumps in the road. You're just wrecking your tyres/fenders.

also fuck these twats that have rusty dinged up cars with 4K wheels on it dumped on its hole. Take the rims off and its still a shit box.

All things in moderation. The difference I see between what I always grew up seeing as show cars and the stance scene is that even the lowest stance cars are driven.

The thing that most people don't understand is that any car that is built with the fitment of the wheels and tires at all is a part of stance. The trend is low, with wide, low offset wheels that necessitate stretched tires, but it doesn't have to.

All the people crying about how someone with an E30 on H&R race springs or coilovers that take the car a little lower than that ruined their handling needs to calm down. If you're really concerned that you may have lost .2g off the skidpad in a car that's driven on the street you need to give your head a shake. That being said, a car that's known for being fun to drive like MK1/2 VW's, BMW 3 series, etc. on bags is not a thing I would do.

Basically, if you look at the extremes of anything it's going to make everyone and everything associated with it look a little too 'out there'. Spork's car is a prime example and despite 'ruining' the car's handling I'm sure it puts a smile on his face every day.

Tire stretching is just a fad like rusting hoods. I hate the way it looks.
stretch=show

[CrusherCurtis]

perfect fitment cars are awesome..i hate it when a slammed to hell car shows up...like the rear fenders are hungry for wheel..eating em...


once....again..

"stance will make em dance.."

[razorcobra]

the stance argument reminds me of something I noticed in middle school, that the girls whose legs looked really good in jeans were really disappointing in skirts.. but the girls with a little more in the way of actual flesh looked good in jeans had fantastic looking bare legs.


actually I don't know what that has to do with stance at all.


carry on.

Let's all post pictures of our own cars and talk about how nobody should hate it.

How can you not like it

Extreme rear camber + poke + stretch.

[N2MYE30]

Geez, what a can of worms!

Im a car guy so if its up in the air or lead sled low...its all good to me. Propotional is more what I would call "stanced". If we go my the modern interpretation of the word stanced, then not a fan of tucked rears and untucked fronts...unless the cars has wheel skirts (old school). All three of my BMWs scrape speedbumps but I am no where to being stanced, just well balanced.

Now, my e36, I wouldnt mind a bit lower but I feel like I should have someones sisters jeans on with white sunglass and a hoodie when driving it. The scene has been a turnoff even though I personally like the look the car has low.

But, to each thier own. There is a difference to being stanced and slammed too.

Curtis, nice pic there but that car looks good from all but one angle...THE REAR! Extream rear camber + poke.
