What's the point of hella-flushing a sports sedan like the ISF? It totally defeats the purpose. What's next? Stancing a Lambo?

... so much for personal choice and what it is to be amercan and free will... would you like to dress me too..lol.. People have choice... the point is bc I enjoy it and its a culture... No worries exactly why I quit replying on forums for years at a time due to nonesensical comments. Statements in thread that are negative are opinions, if you dont like what you see no problem I respect that, but your statements RUIN threads

gotta ease up man, this is a forum. Your gonna get different ideas; thoughts, and personalities....that's the fun about this. Don't drown in a cup of water.

For a minute there I thought I was on my old forum vwvortex lol. I agree, why would you stance a car that's meant to run on a circuit, that's meant to go 172mph

^ I think that's the point. Nobody is telling anyone else that you can't exercise personal choice. It's your car, do whatever you want with it! The question though (and I think it is a fair question) is why do people buy cars specifically designed for performance and handling, and make it so that it couldn't possibly perform close to its potential? If you buy a car that was meant for mid-low speed cruising, it would seem to make sense... but not on a car that was meant to go fast and handle on rails. Why not buy an IS250 if you want the look?

Let me set it straight here, what I meant by stanced is a aggressive offset with a sizable drop...

After all it is gong to be my daily...

I think one of the first guys to do a rusty hood was the guy who owns the StanceWorks website....if you've seen his E28 BMW...you'll actually go..."damn that was a pretty good idea and it looks good". Here comes all the other guys doing the same...never turned out the same though.

Would you like a tissue? Seriously, you need a flame suit if you're gonna post a topic like this. Besides, this a forum, expect differing opinions.

I like an aggressive stance on a lot of cars for a show but not for driving. I think having two setups would be nice. Stance.... Hella flush, lot's of camber, not poked for shows and proper alignment for driving. IMHO streached is for Euros and drifters. I think it looks really bad to rock a ton of rim with no tire on a performance car.
Stuffing 305s in the rear gives you the best of both worlds.... Hella flush with great performance.
