^^ 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.

One thing that I dislike is the attitude some of these guys have, especially online. That's where track junkies shine since they seem to be more sincere. It's okay if someone doesn't like your style or what you did. People are ignorant, don't stoop down to their level.

How many hellaflush people actually track their cars in all honesty.

Yes, it can be reversed and switched up to be set up for the track... but how many people do you know who are all about looks go to the track? I bet everyone in that video and all the people in here saying it can be changed, don't. They all keep the big wheels on all year. The only time they change the setup is when going for bigger wheels with more camber.

Let's be real people.

I don't have 100% hate for the style, it's just not mine.

"Hellaflush" isn't my thing. In fact, I wish it would go away... at least on S2Ks. It just compromises the car and the car's purpose in too many ways.

And like some other posters alluded to, often times it's the immaturity and attitude of this crowd that the non "stance" crowd can't stand. The whole scene can contribute to a bad reputation for S2Ks and their owners.

On one positive note, this crowd does seem to take excellent cosmetic care of their vehicles (minus the fenders in some cases).

Actually, I completely disagree. I do think a nice drop makes the car look much better. But dumping the car on the ground does nothing for the S2000. Sure, everyone says "DOPE, DOPE, DOPE". But IMO, I think it looks cheap and takes away from the aggressive look of the car. In my mind, "stance" means the car actually has a "stance", not just laying on the ground.
