Stanced cars...love 'em or hate 'em?

[KC native]

So what is CP's general opinion about stanced cars? Saw my first well executed one in person today and ......(well I will put my opinion in a post)

So what say you gear heads of CP?


Examples of well executed cars below (there are tons of terrible ones. feel free to post them in the thread)

This. I detest most body kits. If it doesn't have good lines from the factory, I'm probably not interested in it to begin with.

I'd take a good low rider all day everyday over these pieces of shit.

You're a Mammericks fan. Your opinion doesn't count.

I used to run 15 x 7 in the front & 15 x 8 in the rear Torq "D's".

I needed new rubber & a buddy had the same wheels with 8.5" for the rear. I wanted wider on the rear than the current 255's. A cyber buddy told me the 3.75" backspacing of the 8.5" would work with a 295.

Anyhoots I chickened out since the 295s' were like 2" shorter.

The 275s' completed my intended stance.

Dumbshit that I am, this is the only stance I know of. Also commonly referred to as "rake".

Jason - I guess w/ me - wheels would be the only thing I'd consider - If I get a white S4 - there's a very good chance i'll get a set of flat black TSW 19's

[AussieChiefsFan]

That is one hella sweet ride.

Doing this kind of shit to a classic is a ****ing sin. They look like shit and it ****s up the steering and handling aspects.

I have been changing the "ride height" on my cars for over 40 years, and I have dropped my Challenger 2 inches, the right way by changing the struts and springs.

I see these rice burners with them dropped down like that without correcting the camber, and I bust out laughing. I was sitting next to one of those things, a scion at a light a week ago, and the two guys in the car couldn't figure out why I was in histerics in my car.

That being said, I voted awesome, because at least they are doing something mechanical to the car instead of just bolting on a fart can muffler and stupid bi-plane wing.

Exactly where the **** do you expect to drive this expensive piece of eye candy?...

That's more like it.
