    Stanced is simply a car lowered to the point you **** the handling up, then you bolt on wheels that dont fit and fit tyres to those wheels that are to small. You csn take it further by ****ing up the way it drives even more by giving it absurd amount of camber, normal involves bodging and dodgy shims and stuff

    yeah its a combination of the extreme low ride height and wheels/fitment. Looks good, bit of a miracle if it handles/rides ok.

    Because they aren't FWD?!?

    Looks ace but I bet it is a pig to drive, scrubs and bottoms out. Not practical for our UK roads(if you can call them that).

    By 'bodge' do you mean 'weld'?

    Coachbuilders (you know the people who make stretch limos and hearses) have been added metal to normal cars to change them since before any of us were born.

    I can tell you now that if someone make a 'stanced' car handle properly Burgo would love it... because it does look good. But I agree with Burgo a car still has to be functional as well as look good, not totally sacrificing handling for looks.

    I like it, what's your suspension setup as I can imagine a touch of travel is gonna cause issues.
