    Thanks mom and dad for not allowing me to turn out like that guy.


    Now that I think about it, maybe I'll just say thanks for not drinking whilst pregnant and/or dropping me down the stairs as an infant.
    Could it be that we are now starting to see the side-effects of the trophy generation? A whole generation of young adults that have been shielded from negativity? When I was young, I was taught to deal with bullies and negativity, but today it seems that the solution is to eliminate bullies and negativity, leaving a whole generation not prepared for it.

    Pop quiz: The proper reply to, "LOL your car sucks" is:
    a) Nothing
    b) "I like it a lot, sorry we don't see eye-to-eye. "
    c) Single application of "F**K YOU YOU SUCK, SAY THAT TO MY FACE YOU ASS JERK !!!!"
    d) Non stop applications of c.

    Exactly! I learned from a young age that I was never going to be a tough kid so I had to be able to out smart the kids who saw me as a target. And by golly it worked. Even the bullies learned quickly enough that I wasn't worth their time. It seems that kids no longer get the tools they need to live, the just get handed everything they ask for like their entitled to it.

    Oh, and you forgot option e) "YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS!"

    Because clearly there's no grasp on what the actual meaning of jealousy is.

    I'm just going to quote what somebody said on another auto forum regarding "stance".

    "As far as 'styles' go there is relatively no wrong way to tune or modify a car. However, can you honestly tell me that a car with negative 5 degrees of camber and super stretched tires is safe to drive? Absolutely not. At that point, it's not a question of good taste, bad taste, or 'style' It's common sense and lack thereof.

    Should I support someone who is putting their own life at risk, as well as everyone else around them in an attempt to be "trendy" "ill" or "flush"? Absolutely not. People can call me a hater, or whatever that fvck they want, but at the end of the day, that sh!t is unsafe, no if's and's or but's."


    Now, my friend, I am not "hating" or being a "hater". Those are extremely ignorant and stupid sounding words anyway. I'm simply pointing out that your vehicle and others like it are incredibly unsafe. Just because you haven't had a tire blow out or had suspension components fail on you yet does not mean it isn't going to happen. I don't care if you spin out of control and kill yourself trying to get over a road reflector, but it makes me upset that there are innocent people out there who's lives you are endangering in an effort to look cool.

    TL;DR
    Stance is unsafe and you are putting innocent lives at risk.

    the whole VIP/JDM scene is the starting point of the tacky, over-cambered "trendsetting" stance ****...

    stretched tires and riding low - in moderation - isnt a danger to anyone except your oil pan.. make sure the people youre going to quote while trying to prove a point, actually know wtf they are talking about.

    its been going on in europe for decades, now people are trying to bring it to the next level with these stupid "VIP" lexus' with some ****ty ed hardy wheels on the damn thing.

    go back and look at the conclusion of the stretched tire thread... the only nay-sayers were the idiots trying to throw in their opinon on something they have no experience... let alone run stretched tires or lower their cars.

    is the OP and idiot? thats a given.

    is every low car on stretched tires going to be a public hazard?

    no, thats about as misinformed as you can get.

    The whole stance trend doesn't bother me so much. What bothers me is the off chance that one of these 'stanced' cars will hit me, then their insurance won't pay because ther car was unsafe/unroadworthy/illegally modified.

    What the hell are you talking about? When your generation "runs this bitch" (whatever the hell that is supposed to mean) I really hope I'll be dead and gone because I wouldn't want to listen to your nonsensical babble anyway. Work on sounding somewhat intelligent, it'll get you a lot further than chest pumping and posturing.

    Also, learn to take criticism. You made the choice to post pics of your car in here knowing full well what people think of that style. It's not a friendly environment for that look. Then you start testiculating (that's when you wave your arms about whilst talking bollocks) that you're going to run the world or something. You're not making any sense, nor are you capitalizing letters at the beginning of a sentence... the rest of us learned to do that in 1st grade.

    If you want to get smoke blown up your arse about your car, go to stanceworks where you know you'll be in an environment of like-minded individuals. Alternatively, post your car and display a bit of humility. Be aware that not everyone will like it, but if you act like a grown up you'll automatically get more positive responses. Don't come in here with an attitude that you're the greatest fabricator on earth just because you rolled some fenders - guys have been doing that for eons. You ain't the first.
    Unfortunately, I'm part of "his" generation, but there always has to be a minority. While, yes I like cars lower, I'm talking 1-2"; I can still fit probably 3 fingers in my wheel gap and as a result my car doesn't handle like complete a go-kart. By the way, saying your car handles like a go-kart is basically telling everyone that no open drinks are allowed and no glass bottles because you will chip a tooth when you hit that pebble on the road you couldn't dodge.
    And congratulations on being able to throw all your money at your car brah. You can upgrade the **** out of it just to make it go fast in a straight line whilst rearranging your internal organs on fresh tarmac!
    Also, say you spent what? $12k on all that? (just pulling numbers out my anus) I guarantee just about everyone in here could build a Z that would outperform yours on the track with half that money, and IMO it would still look better.

    Idk who said it, but :

    no, thats about as misinformed as you can get.

    But you have to admit that a car with 215 tires on a 13 inch wide wheel running a thousand degrees of negative camber is going to be much less safe than 99% of the cars on the road. Running stretched tires puts you at greater risk for a blowout/tire failure at speed. That's the point I'm trying to make.

    Not only that, but with crazy camber you're going to have much less rubber on the road. Good luck braking hard when you need to.

Probably not much, but the risk is there and is increased.

    Actually harder to unseat it.

    when it's sitting like \_____/ that and you're putting pressure onto it, it's pushing the ends of the tire into the lips of the wheel and keeping it on.

    I wasnt trying to argue, im simply saying done in moderation, the effects are negligible. Obviously pushing anything to the limits is just asking for it. Im not a huge fan of running ridiculous camber or any of that junk, so im not going to defend that side of things.

    anything over -3 just seems absurd in the rear.

    I daily drive a 215/40 on 9.5" wheel which is a decent/moderate stretch... it took over 100 psi. to get the bead to seat, compared to the normal 30-50 psi to fit a regular tire.

    it in no way makes the tire easier to unbead unless youre running 5psi or something and try going dorifto around a corner.

    i run them at 38-40 psi and havent had so much as a slight air leak... with some of the construction ive ran into during my commute on the mass pike, if that doesnt unseat something then Im not too worried about it.

    not to say it cant happen, but regardless of stretch, a tire can fail at anytime in numerous conditions.

    You can't possibly apply "positive" force to one bead of the tire without applying "negative" force to the opposite bead...



    And let's be honest; they aren't worried about a blow-out because they have to slow to a crawl before they hit any sort of bump in the road
