This makes me sad :(

Off Topic Discussion. These posts do count towards overall post count. This is by far the best subforum on the site.

I bet his head spins when he goes to the future and sees that the cool thing is having your wheels tilted so far the opposite direction with positive camber, and all he can do is shake his head and say it looks stupid. LOL

Wow! I never anticipated such a passionate discussion out of this thread. 6 pages! I didn't read every reply, but from what I gather we have two very different camps in terms of who likes it and who doesn't. I didn't post a reason why I don't like the style of drop in the first post, but it has to do with functionality. I personally think those who choose to do so to their cars is in a way destroying the very purpose of the car. Maybe even more so with performance minded cars. I just don't see any functionality to it.

I think it was Jimmy who did some research and discovered the difference between hellaflush and stanced. From what I gather is I don't seem to care for hellaflush. I do however like this:

Which I gather from the watermark is stanced. This I like, and don't see it negatively effecting the car in such a drastic way the other style does.

Anyhow I'm glad I could get such a good discussion going off of a single photo.

:lol: It's for when drifting goes bad and you flip. With a set mounted up top you can just keep going. I hear you get more points that way.
