    Cars that look good Slammed/Stanced

    I was originally planning on slamming my 325is but I decided against it after reading some posts. Now I'm planning on making the 325 and autocross/ track car. I want to know what cars you think look good slammed. I want something that is not too common and still looks good. I'm okay with trucks or cars but I prefer rwd. Please help

      Subjective, but here goes:

      Anything looks good lowered, whether it's a FWD Caddy or a moped.

      Go as low as you want as as long as:
      • Handling is improved
      • Suspension, steering, and drivetrain geometries are not negatively impacted.
      • No more than -1.5° rear camber
      • Rims + tires are tucked or flush
      • No poke, no stretch

          Hmm... If I were going to slam a car, I'd probably choose an older luxury car, like an old Benz, or an old (50s/60s) pickup. And I'd use bags. Because fuck having to drive an inch off the ground 24/7.

          Slamming a sports car or sports sedan is stupid IMO. Completely ruins the function of the car.

            Most 50's Caddys, 1965 Lincoln Continental. Never been a fan of the "Stance" scene, I love a good low-rider.

                I like low big body cars. As for e30's I prefer a compromise between lows and big tires.

                Like Sebo's

                      Almost all cars looks better lowered/slammed within reason.

                      Way fewer truly look "good" that way.

                      (I appreciate everything in this thread so far, I'm talking about the kids who stance their grandmother's '90s or '00's <insert bottom-of-the-barrel-appliance-car here>, spray half the car with plastidip, post it up on stanceworks and assume everyone will worship them as a stance icon... but that's a story for another time)

                        Not sure why it can't be both. Assuming you're running different tires/wheels on the street.

                          Rear? I'm talking E30 here.

                            Also, I don't know anything about Hondas, but it seems like a light, FWD car like a Civic wouldn't need that much camber at the back (SE30 rear are at -2.5° or so?), but again, I don't know much about those chassis'.
