To adjust a car's camber, ride height and spacing, so that the sidewall of the tire sits as flush as possible with the fender/quarter panel.
A common trend and style impersonated on drift and show cars alike, originating from the older Japanese domestic market.
Typically, the tires are tucked way inside the vehicles fenders, but in order to have a hellaflush stance and run the required excessively wide wheels with tires that are stretched just to fit onto the wheels, the car has to have an excessive amount of negative camber.
If you stand behind one of these cars don't be surprised to see the rear tires looking like "/ \".
The rear tires are probably bald on the inside and the outside still looks brand new, and there's probably only an inch of contact patch with the ground.
A hellaflush stance car can't even pull into a driveway without bottoming out and ripping the bumper off or cracking the vehicles oil pan...
Some stanced cars are so extreme that you can't even turn the vehicles steering wheel fully in either direction without the tires rubbing.
Stance culture is not such new phenomenon as one may think...
Lots of people suppose that “stance” is a concept similar to “drop” though they’re wrong.
“Stance” and “drop” have a lot if common but “stance” is something more profound and significant than just drop, actually, the basis of stance culture is reducing of clearance.
If you take a look at a stanced car you’ll probably get a little bit astonished: such vehicles seem to touch the ground not only with their wheels but with the whole body so they really look like something very vulnerable and fragile.
How can such a car pass a speed bump or survive after coming across a pothole?
Well, those guys who carry out such modifications are definitely ready for all these troubles otherwise they would hardly drop their cars so low.
There two ways of clearance reduction:
The first way is cheaper and it includes only replacement of springs...
Though true connoisseurs of stance culture prefer purchasing screw puppets...
Besides dropping cars stance includes proper wheels fitment – width and offset of wheels, width of tires and many other parameters.
Stanced cars often have some elements of tuning like body kit, for example, however the owners of such vehicles usually avoid tune them too much and even if they do some tuning they tend to follow some certain idea or concept.
It’s rather obvious that these people don’t want to have anything in common with typical street racers...
Many people regard, "stance" is a weird hobby of weird People, though real fans never pay attention to what others say...
They are ready to move slower and to invest more money in their car but it gives them individuality, they part with thousands of dollars and turn barn finds into fabulous and elegant cars – that’s how they get what they want.
Stance is getting more and more popular not only in the United States and Western Europe but in Asia and Eastern Europe as well, so here I show you a few examples of some interesting trends and new ideas of this really interesting and original art...
... as I said, everything of course, a matter of taste...
And so, it is to do that, if you like it a little more extreme...
