Default Definition Of Stance

Found this info on another site thought i would share it

Today were going to talk a little bit about stance. Its not everyone cup of tea but you cant argue the fact that it can really work when done right. The correct stance can really set a car apart from others. Its surprising to see that a totally oem stock looking car with the correct wheels and stance can absolutely **** all over a crazy expensive looking exterior rapped car. Its not that common in Ireland yet and mainly due to the fact its only hitting home now what effect it can have to the car or that our roads are ****. This is certainly true but Ive still seen some seriously low cars in the worst of locations and they seem to do just fine. Many cars had come in from Japan in the sky and remained that way because quite a lot of people didn’t realize that they were raised for the boats. Like many I have talked to, its possible to make even the worst car look good with the the right wheels and stance. By stance it can mean slammed or flushed or whatever. Achieving a decent poke with the rims always looks good with some stretched tires on any car model. There are many people out there who use there car for a purpose, and maybe cannot enjoy stance or feel that it isn’t a whole lot functional but, its still truly epic to see someone with a perfect wheel fitment and still use there car on the daily basis. Its definitely a part of a car which is totally overlooked in this country and were going to highlight it here. While sites like Hellaflush and stanceworks are taking over in the states this is quickly becoming a growing trend amongst car enthusiasts worldwide. Check this super diagram to see what we mean.

This doesn’t really need an explanation, we all know what stock looks like.



Lowered usually looks good.You can do that with lowering springs or coilovers. With the right wheels again complementing a clean body it usually works out good.



Slammed is usually going to look good also when done right. The right car slammed on the right wheels is always going to catch attention. A big fear amongst people in Ireland and they may have good reason. But for the people who have done this, It usually works a treat.



Here’s a decent example of a flush car. The rims poke but only past the arches a tiny bit. Flush is certainly pleasing to the eye. No wheels lost in arches here and it makes the car look aggressive as ****. Something that can be done so easily on many cars Ive seen but its usually always overlooked.



This can be called Hellaflush. I’m going to use hellaflush because its the American terminology which has gotten quite popular.
Hella. Originated from the streets of San Francisco in the Hunters Point neighborhood. It is commonly used in place of “really” or “very” when describing something.
So I guess we can adapt it and say Veryflush hahah? Maybe not. who knows. I guess in the image we have a perfectly stanced s14. Theres even more images out there of cars which have done it alot better but this car will do for the example. Its the perfect example of the right set of wheels executed at the right stance on a clean car.



Sometimes too much of something can look completely retarded. This golf definitly had some serious overkill with those wheels. Ive read that this was just a joke but still, holy ****. Never do this. haha

anything past a 1-2" drop really screws up the suspension geometry and is pointless.

That post was rather pointless in this particular thread, also.
