That attitude does nothing to foster a relationship between those like you, and those that don't like this trend.

I do have an honest question though. To those that like this trend, what is it about the "Hellaflush" or "Stance" that does it for you? I ask this question because I want you to make me understand what it is. Perhaps I am just naive and can't see it, so I want you to help me.

Please note that the above question is not sarcastic at all, but an honest, sincere question because I want to understand this idea.

stance is what we like just like tracking is what some of you guys like.
what does reving your car to 9k do to your car at the track do? break valves/pistons/all that crap after a period of time... what does stance do to us **** up our fenders maybe... fenders are replaceable and wont take any down time on driving our cars stance>fenders !

For me, I like how it gives the car a more aggressive look when sitting still and rolling. Every time I've drawn a car (starting back in 2004) I've always drawn them with tires coming out to the fenders, so it's also how I see an idea of a car.

But then again, I run "proper" sized tires and the car still finds use on the track. I think there's a nice medium in both stance and tracking and through my years of ownership, I "think" I've found a setup that I'll be truly happy with on and off the track. Now if only I can sell my NT03s.

^^ I enjoy tracking and serious driving as well as stance.

It simply looks dope. the lower a car is, the sleeker, more aggressive it looks while rolling or just parked. its the best way to accentuate the stock body lines of almost any car, slam it to the ground, get rid of nasty wheel gap, and give it some tasty wheels to give it some character. I'm not huge into gnarly agressive stuff to the point where extreme fender flaring is required, unless done meticulously like alexisthemovie's car. Theres a fine line between making something work and forcing some shit for the sake of being hella wide. but I do like the flush look no doubt. It's more about how cleanly and well presented a car is on a whole. It's about making it your own, unique, personalized... and the easiest way to do that is with some uniquely styled flush wheels, a healthy drop, and a consistent and well planned overall scheme (keeping amber here or there or going clear, maybe even some light tint on some of the lighting elements, etc. are very small, unrice things that can really change the scheme of a car, just the way its going to grab the eye and command attention to certain elements. It's really quite an artful expression). keeping it simple and clean, and again, accentuating on the beauty that already is the s2000 (and other cars).

again I need to point out, I'm sure I'm not the only one, that many of us who do like stance/hellaflush/whatever people are branding it nowadays, also like to drive our cars the way they were meant to. In the case of most drift cars, the lower and more agressive the stance, the easier it is to break loose and maintain and control a slide. In that sense, stretched tires actually help performance. (again, super extreme setups are sometimes exceptions)

Again, it's such a tired debate. As true auto enthusiasts, there's no reason to be hostile toward one another over the size of our tires or our ride height. Again, keeping in mind, most people with sanity would surely make some adjustments to their setup before hitting up the track when it's time to get down to business.

I agree gentlemen. I think with a little patience and respectful, intelligible dialog, we can start to better understand each other and create a much better environment not just on the forums but in real life as well.


again, stanced style is easily reversed for tracking. It's almost exclusively a matter of aesthetic preference and just a way to show our love for our cars.

there are always fad followers but I think a lot of us have liked this style for many many years and probably will never stop.
