Why do people stanced cars

I just love it, but I know a lot of people absolutely hate it. Air Ride is a generic type of suspension. So is that what you see on the cars in Snoop Dogg videos? And are their leading specialists and garages in the UK who can do this stuff for you? Yeah, there are a few, especially with Air Ride. Is that starting to change? The modified fashion is changing. This year, the big things have been big spoilers and wide body kits. Do you think people need to shift their perception of modified cars and think of them more as bespoke?

With this, it is very bespoke; people spend their whole life savings, all their time every weekend with all their friends building their cars. When I first started, I was surprised about both how many girls do it and the range of ages. How strong is the scene in the UK? I would say the UK is the biggest in Europe, easily. But the UK scene is the biggest. Please confirm you agree to the use of tracking cookies as outlined in the Cookies Policy. Sign in or register. Jordan Bell 5 years ago. Stance and why it is bad for your car allroadnotlowroad.

Stancing your car destroys it over time, and makes it worse to drive. Sort by Best Sort by Latest. Something to think about isn't it? Being able to reduce the harshness of roads is the main function of a suspension system, and NOT to look like a complete idiot while scraping away the suspension engineers tears from the pavement.

For it to work the undamped masses wheel, tire, brakes, control arms etc. If your car has zero give in the suspension system, it will jump over bumps like a baby lamb and understeer like a pig in corners. Because once the suspension reaches its limits, the tires are your only hope if there is any left. If there is no suspension the limits of the car are as narrow as the profile of the tires and the mind of the driver.

This just can't be good for you or your car right? When screwing around with suspension, you need to know what you are doing. Vaping indicates that you do not know what your are doing. Here is why. What is camber good for? For maximum grip the wheels need to be as straight as possible right? This way you have the largest contact patch. Basically camber allows the wise man to adjust a cars balance in corners. A little bit of negative camber will result in better grip in corners because the body roll equals out the camber.

This is why oversteery cars have more negative camber in the front than they do in the back. Then there is the question of what happens when the suspension is compressed, but we won't go into that.

I'm not James May after all. So far so good. Negative camber increases the grip of an axle in a corner. Absurd amounts of camber result in a reduction of grip. The contact area of the tire is basically like that of a bicycle tire.

Also it's running on its sidewalls. This is like using a cup sideways and wondering why the fluid doesn't stay inside. And no body roll in the world can compensate for a lack of intelligence like that. There you go. You can probably imagine what happens in my head when I see a stanced "performance" SUV. Leave stance alone Not all stanced cars are bad.

Just the perfect camber angle and ride height would do. The entire stance thing is black or white, either you hate it or love it.
