I don't know about every state, but here in NYC you are required to pass an annual inspection where all of those things are checked.

I tell you this cant be safe!
That car looks so stupid.

One thing that bugs me about the stance and Hellaflush cars is the massive car crew stickers they use. That crap looks terrible.

I like an aggressive fitment like most people on here, but some people just take it way too far.

I don't think ride height and style has much relevance points. I think they are trying to eliminate cars driving on their sidewalls.. Tell me if driving on sidewalls is normal..? Many slammed cars can achieved near stock camber but I think the point in all this is ridiculous camber, riding on 1/3 of your tire patch may be a style but its def not normal (anyone with some common sense can realize that) IMO nothing wrong with setting up your car like that for show but don't drive it on the road and be a safety Hazard for everyone around you is all i'm saying..

I guess I rather them take the time to make sure 18 wheeler tires are in top notch shape instead of going after this crowd. Seems like they are being picked on.
