Stanced motors, what do you think?

Post by Vectraman »

I haven't posted on here for a while naughty me, so firstly hello everyone!

I 've noticed in Japanese performance and Banzai mags and on stancenation and stanceworks sites that 'stance' is on the rise (on european cars too of course) and wondered what you all think of the look?

Personally i've always liked the stretched tyre look since i saw it appear at VW meets a few years ago. Also contrary to what i used to think, i now also like the lowered look more these days. I'm not so keen on the more 'extreme' negative camber some of the cars are running especially at the rear (i think it's my OCD tendencies insisting that the cambers and rim stick out and are the same front and back!) but each to his own of course.

As a good majority of the cars also exhibit fairly serious engine tuning, i'm hoping i can get away with this post under the 'bigpower' banner, haha!

cheers

I've been a big fan of this 'class' of car for years. Big saloons, hatchbacks, coupes; they can all look superb with a nice flush fitting set of wheels and sitting nice and low (not in the weeds) I like the sites like Stancenation because the variety, volume and quality of photographs is really high. They seem to scour the globe (or net) and find really interesting cars, tuned well and modified creatively.

Japanese, Swedish, German or American.......done well, I love all cars full stop.

Yeah I'm a fan also although not to the point where the wheels have ridiculous camber !
Seems to be getting bigger each year.
