"The Stance Thread"

Recommended Posts

But that's just it- "stance" often- usually?- means "I just ruined the handling of a nice car.  Ain't I kewl?"

 

10 years ago we beat "optimum ride height for handling" to death.

 'Stance' lives on.  

Like a zombie....

all the brainz leaked out long ago.... 

 

Back under my rug,

Isn't being kewl and getting chicks the reason we do it?? :D Plus being able to make u-turns is so over rated :P

I read stance to mean the stance of your car and what parts you used to achieve that. I never thought it meant the stance poke hellaflush garbage.

 

Max - You sir, hit the nail on the head.

It's pretty arrogant to declare that all posts about stance since you've had your say are now brainless.

I've found this thread useful and I'm pretty sure that as long as people care about how their cars look and drive others will do to. The last I checked there are still innovations being made in suspension and wheel technology.

I know this is probably flame bait but I want to go the other route and have a bit higher suspension for a bit more clearence for off road silliness, just an inch or two.

 

I was reading on one of threads (that I cant find any more) that there was a higher spring set up for certain models. Anyone have any idea were I could find those springs?

Ahh, and that might be my problem...

 

 

what harm is there in it?

With a 2002 that's  lowered or stiffened too much, it becomes pretty dangerous when you have TOO much fun.

Classic example would be running out of rear shock travel mid- corner...

Yup.  I'm pretty arrogant, it's true...

geez...great angle from the rear.

It's ok I guess. 

 

Might be dead by the time you get that car 100% completed Heist. ;)

 

John just recently got his box flared inka car on the road, 15 years later.  Good thing he went with "traditional" styling. 

I'm not a fan of "100%"  and 02 in one sentence. The 02 is a progression project that grows with my skill/knowledge, but yeah I would say road worthy this year. It has only been three years ;)

Toby I would love to let you have the last word, and let this stance crap die down, but then inspiration like this comes along:

...and I have to contribute to the stance thread and keep it alive for a little bit longer.  -sorry-

 

There's a difference between a car having a stance and being stanced, right?

I'd say that car isn't stanced, but it does have far too big rims..;)

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
