Re: Got stance?
Is that the one off YouTube that has the tyres touching the arches??
Re: Got stance?
Yeah, realized after posting that it was the car with the wheels that leave rubber on the arches.
The wheels themselves look awesome, but the car needs raising somewhat
Re: Got stance?
looks mean, but anyone else noticed the huge shut line gap between the bonnet and front bumper?
Re: Got stance?
Wheels are nice looking, but waaay too big and just because a car has been "slammed" doesn't make it cool, it Needs raising so at least the tyres don't rub.
I don't get all this stance b0ll0cks.

Re: Got stance?
^Different strokes for different folks.
I appreciate what these guys do as they push boundaries.
Its not the case where they have just bought an oversized set of wheels and then lowered there cars.
Achieving a good stance is much more than that.
If you read through their threads on the US boards a lot of thought and planning goes into their stance, camber, tyres etc and what they can get away with.
I personally couldn't do this as where I live the roads are super xxxx but I think it makes forgreat pictures and its also very informative for others in terms of what works and what won't on an mr2.

Re: Got stance?
It's not a question of what works here.... what works in looking cool etc has no relevance on what works for handling, acceleration etc. Just seems a shame to take a sports car and negatively effect change to make it less sporting....

That and the dimpled effect on the top of the bumper. No sure if that's the light though
Nice looking car, aside from the ridiculous ride height

I noticed this after closer inspection too. Looks like the fibreglass/ filler has warped, don't think anyone would paint with that finish.

It's all about the little details, which make an apparently stunning car look more mediocre the closer you get. And vice versa though

Looks like it wouldn't be able to turn or do anything but go in a straight line at 10mph on a smooth road.
Theirs nicks in the paintwork all over the place and side strips on the front and rear of rear arch are all over the place.
The kits either not genuine and a cowboy fitted it or it is and it was totally bodged.
Shame as the car lets those Work Meisters down!

Re: Got stance?
Yes it is.lol. If they were thinking about doing stuff properly they would want to be able to drive the car without issues. To me if the wheels arent on straight or the car is so low it scrubs the rubber it`s an imperfection and a big issue with how the car will drive, therefore only stupid people go that far. Insane mods go for it! Stupid ones, no.Its not the case where they have just bought an oversized set of wheels and then lowered there cars.

Re: Got stance?
People get sports cars for different reasons, some for performance and handling others purely for aesthetics.
A lot of the stance guys would fall into the latter category, though tbh if you go look up their engine specs their cars engines are heavily modified as well.
While they might not be able to track their car with great success that doesnt mean they can't go fast in a straight line.
I personally don't like the veilside kit, that doesn't mean its stupid, thats down to personal taste.
Like I said different strokes for different folks.

Re: Got stance?
Well you can understand someone not liking the veilside kit, thats like someone not liking an astra but prefers the look of a ford focus. People will have different tastes in what looks good or not, but a car so low down that it scrubs the tyres away is in my opinion stupid and potentially dangerous, forget if it looks nice, it would look just as nice a couple of inches higher. Aesthetically pleasing, but wrecks your tyres? Grrrreat.
