IV HAD MANY TIMES WHEN IM WALKING OUT OF A STORE WITH SOMEONE TAKING PICTURES OF IT OUTSIDE, ASKING ME OMG WHAT KIND OF CAR IS THAT AND HOW DO U DRIVE THAT LOW WITH OUT SCRAPING . AND IM SURE FOR MANY OF YOU OTHER STANCE LOVERS HAD THIS HAPPEN TOO...........

stance and hellaflush is taking over bahaha!
ego much????? If i modified a car for the sake of making my e-boner bigger I would question myself as being a true car enthusiast. I could care less what people think about me whether it be a 1985 toyota van or an Enzo, all that matters is that it serves its purpose.

I dont mind alot of the low offset cars out there, but what I dont get is why someone would go through all the hassle that comes with dumping a car on the ground that bashes up CHASSIS frame rails, tears front lips off and buckles/chews up fenders and paint, some say its a lifestyle but its definitely a hassle! I can appreciate quality work and customization, I mean after all the automobile scene would be utterly boring if we didn't have variation.

I dont get why you have some kind of vendetta against the track crowd, its like the race card that some people pull when there's a disagreement. For many, its the ego and attitude that many display when someone expresses their opinion on a certain style, part, or car, its just too easy to associate the "hellaflush" crowd with little man syndrome/e-thugness. I mean you dont help any when you bash on others about fake rims or rotas, so explain to me why someone should dump thousands of dollars into rims when one gets the exact SAME satisfaction with an alternative part that is actually financially smarter for their given situation, and im talking about you specifically. And before this gets out of hand, im not saying everyone in the hella flush scene are brand whores or ego maniacs, its just there are a whole lot more who are into it that ruins it for the rest.

I appreciate the thoughtful responses regarding why they enjoy this idea of "Hellaflush" and "Stance". Maybe I just won't ever understand this but I can begin to appreciate that others enjoy this.

Driving a car breaks it after a period of time if not properly maintained. Your arguments are weak. If there were more replies like this...

"^^ 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. "


then I think there would be a lot more respect on both sides of the fence. Even if you don't agree with it, at least when you read well thought out responses and proper English, you don't wonder if there are missing brain cells.

lol. There is a certain way to go about stating your opinions in a nice, respectful manner.

That's all I am going to say on the matter.
