What is stance?
Hi guys I see lots of references to stance, but what is it? Is it a stance you pose in when taking pictures with your car?

JOE! help this dude out.

stance. lowering your car to within about an inch of the ground. using SUPER wide wheels with skinnier tires that are stretched wider. thats basically it.

stance is a ricer forum word lol
but it refers to the fitment your car has
whether its slammed to the ground with camber
or flush with fenders
or even lowered with fat tires

it just depends, but when most say stance they mean a low car

It's how the car sits on the ground, and how the wheels sit in relation to the body.

Driving your car hard doesnt necessarily mean your car is good at it

Notice how he said undriveable. Far from undriveable. It actually handles quite well.

you are right it could be set up to handle better but if people are happy with the way it looks and can still go out and have a **** ton of fun on the auto-x course then they are doing it right. not everything is about being in 1st place. its about enjoying your car every moment of it.

But Josh, neither you nor Nate are running ridiculous amounts of stretch or so much camber that only 10% of your tire is on the ground. I wouldn't call either of your cars undriveable just because they are low. But you gotta admit that some of the examples of stance that we see are not something you could drive hard.
