bullzed Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 hahaha i was waiting for someone to post sh*t like that You ain't seen oni-kyan until you've seen this. Kapow! And nah I don't use shiet tyres, either Continentals or Bridgestone RE001's are my personal preference. It's the only part of the car that contacts you to the road after all! Quote
MickieB Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Yours doesn't need to be lower matty. I get told that all the time with my XT forester, seems to be a trend to lower then, which i think is ridiculous, if you want a lowered forester buy a GT liberty wagon. I personally like a bit of clearence so you don't scrape everything up. Also hope your car is ok after today's cyclone matty. Quote
MATTY Posted January 27, 2013 Author Posted January 27, 2013 haha cheers mickie i think she sits pretty as is, yeah mate shes all safe and tucked away i was a bit iffy with the wind gusts we had out here in westbrook but all good hope its the same on your end Quote
saxon Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Stance and performance are not mutually exclusive. The whole stance movement came from low and wide time attack cars. To me, stance is a very broad term which is an aesthetic where the car is low to the ground and low clearance between tyre and body. It doesn't necessarily mean camber, stretched tyres, dish, so low you're scraping the ground, or being able to hold a card between the fender and tyre. That would be the hellaflush/fitment movement which is a subset of the stance movement. I can understand why people may dislike hellaflush, as it takes stance to a point where form is more important than function. But for many stanced cars, the form and function work together. I would regard v8 supercars and gt3 cars as being stanced. So I think if anyone is to write off stance all together they have to be a real traditionalist or not understand wha stance is. Quote
MickieB Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Yeah matty pretty good here. Cars are ok, but house has a bit of water damage and we got a power surge that fried a few things, so big insurance claim coming this week. Quote
sco_aus Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 I love stanced and hella flush lloking cars, but I would never do it to mine. Quote
