Why Do People Stance Their Cars? 

Nobody found a good reason yet to run with it looks like.

Why stance? Because I hate tires and safety 😂

The real reason for those stance cars seems to be attention. They all mentioned Social Media etc.

@@affectedrl5327 All it ever was for.

@@affectedrl5327 oh dears :'(((((

I think you have a very respectable way of looking at it.

Follower

That's like my first "skip" for a girl now, if they do something for social media. Lol, unreal how often that is.

Yeah you’ve already lost seeking validation from others

Social media almost exclusively shows the pros, never the cons. I think it helps people overlook the cons a lot easier than folks who modify a car based on other forms of references. In my opinion, operating a 2500+ lbs piece of metal while overlooking the shortcomings of a certain decision is pretty dangerous. The same problem can apply to other things in life too lol.

Absolutely!

true!

It gives fatherless vibes

this guy woke up this morning and chose violence, huh.

Based take

i came to the comments as soon as he showed up and it’s absolutely laughable it’s included as a “stance” car lmfao

@@cay378 yeah I mean it's low ig but it's still more or less some regular ass traffic

Dude has the most basic wheels on the most basic ass generation of golf

There are a ton of identical golfs running around at the meets around me. Slammed on those wheels or on knockoff BBS wheels claiming that they are real.

Insert “she looks like every other bitch” meme here lol. Nothing unique about that car 😆

Fully agree. Doing it to be genuine is a dangerous path to justify your choices based on others' opinions. Do it cause you like it, not because it hasn't been done before.

unique and genuine?

I mean how else ppl now in days going to see a style they like. Not like back in the day you would see shit on car shows. Acting up for clout is one thing.

social media is a good reason

Depends on how stanced it is. Balding tires are significantly more dangerous than a serious stanced out car. More dangerous than stock? Definitely. More dangerous than most mods? Nope.

Doing research and choosing the right quality tires, suspension parts, and wheels is just the same and as important to making a reliable vehicle as performance parts. Having had (and still drive) three bagged stanced cars (which really is the "proper" way to build a stanced car), have all been used as daily drivers and gone on numerous road trips with tens of thousands of miles without a hiccup. This includes "excessive" camber at -8 degrees, 205's on 9.5 wide's, and a inch of suspension travel. They have been safe and drive more like a "normal" car than any track or "modified" car, even at triple digit speeds. Most just choose not to put in the time, effort, and most importantly, money to do it right. You wouldn't put a $200 turbo, $80 tires, or $300 coilover's on your car and expect it to last, be safe, or be remotely reliable would you? A way a person drives and quality of parts is much more concerning to me than being a mere stanced car. Do I think excessive camber in combination with driving slammed inches of the ground, especially without air suspension is dumb? Yes, and they definitely give stance a bad name; however, a couple of degrees of camber, wheels flushed to the fender, drivable height, and a reasonable driver is no less dangerous when done right. The cars G&G used for the roadtrip and the cars used in this video were cheaply done, excessive, and obviously owned by people who don't give a crap about their cars, themselves, or safety. Again, the driver and quality of parts matters significantly more than the car itself.

Personally im a young car enthusiast I have a 2018 gti which I see lots of gti stanced I think it's just kind of stupid and unpractical. Yea young people like doing dangerous stuff from the thrill of being young and basically bulletproof

Same with the trend of quick releases in a car without a cage, bucket seats, harness, HANS, helmet

A certain (boomer) generation use to cut the springs before they could or there is the market support for it. Now we are also the one passing judgment on stancers. Lol

BuT bAgS aRe FoR gRoCeRiEs

there's the argument that cars on air drive like shit because to have them low there's no pressure in them and even when they're all the way up they don't drive great. however stanced cars will also drive like shit

@@finnjb3249 yeah that can be true, I’m at around 45-50 psi driving at a “low” height. It will never be as good as coils but for its use it’s perfect for me.

@@finnjb3249 bro wtf are you talking about. Lower psi= softer more plush ride, more psi= harsher ride. This means air ride drives better when it's aired down a bit. You don't want pressure. Pressure means stiff, and stiff means feeling every bump in the road in your spinal chord. Air ride drives a lot better than coilovers and thousands of times better than shitty coilovers. Good coilovers drive very nice, but bags are always better. IDK, i got out of the stanced german car game awhile ago. Now I'm into lifted toyotas and don't have nearly as many headaches as I used to.

Just not as good as coils, I love whipping around the canyons

Yeah when the whole point is looks but then you're making your car look like ish from the damage...what the heck is the point???

LOL EXACTLY

the reason is it looks cool asf

I was just thinking they chose people that didn’t seem that hard into the “scene” I’ve been doing low car shot for years and gotten my wife and family into it maybe it’s the demographic of where they are located tho

Lol. Facts There’s two types of stance. Pre-tiktok and Post-tiktok (BC-AD)💀

Looks toxic at first, but there are good people in it. When you have to make sure people know that there are SOME good people...oof

cap

I’m currently building a stance E46 Sedan on bags and so far i had no issues so I agree. I like static builds but I’d never do it to my car just because i don’t wanna ruin it

I’m currently building a stance E46 Sedan on bags and so far i had no issues so I agree. I like static builds but I’d never do it to my car just because i don’t wanna ruin it

the excessive camber is what makes it look disgusting, bags look great imo

its called money

that it looks sick and is amazing

Only gets it from cops with it dragging its ass down the road.

Like every aesthetic mod? Lol

Sparks that's why

Yeah that literally it theres no other reason why they would do this🤣🤣🤣

@@jevonbigga6172 ofc there is.

You could say the same thing for anyone who puts their ride in a car show….attention. No harm

@@Klw376 I'm not trying to be negative, or say it causes harm. It's just what it reminds me of.

imagine stancing a car then buying another car for the track. OMG that would be insane

@@miino_ii I think its called "growing up"

Even if you did value form over function... this still looks like shit

@@miino_ii - Yep, and after you have a properly modded car, that stance car will go up for sale. Happens every time.

@@michaelblacktree and they’ll expect you to pay top dollar for their stance cars because they know what they’ve got….

yup, and I'm not going to argue my Datsun 620 long bed wasn't too dang low! a CHP was nice and explained everything why. I un-reversed the rear leafs and used 2" lowering blocks then 15" centerlines and 185/60 15's, still lowered but modified for handling, KYB's etc. it was so much more fun!

Good point these guys are screwing the rest of us

I very much doubt that the stance community has been responsible for the law enforcement crackdown on the car community. I've been watching videos from many different events from all over the world and participated in many events on my own country (Portugal) and the only thing stanced cars are making is attracting the attention of the authorities due to being clearly visually modified, leading them to gatherings where, unavoidably, some idiot will be doing donuts, crashing into parked cars or spectators, rolling coal, shooting flames or banging and popping their exhaust. Want to blame someone for that? Blame the street racing/drifting crowd that ruined it for all of us by dropping every cent they ever made under the hood and then not going to a certified drag strip/skid pad/track day because "that's expensive"... 🤔 All my cars have been modified and will without an issue pass Tech Inspection annually while being in better shape than stock 2/3 year old cars. Granted, my cars have never been to the extreme of bumpers falling off/horizontal wheels stanced but still... 😅

@@VirtuaDesign No, here in Canada stanced car made the news. Our province introduced the new law in 2014 calling it by name : Hellaflush. The crackdown was a direct reaction to the stance cars. And it hurt every modded car owner as they made the law extremely broad and powerful, essentially cracking down on ANY lowering. A15mm spring drop with OEM spec alignment is illegal, and since then Police can, and do, send you to a mechanical inspection, that you will fail and remove the car from the road unless you swap back to OEM. Since a year or two, as most really slammed cars are out of the road they have been relaxing, ( Not saying street racing is not an issue, but here that wasn't much an issue, but I foresee it becoming one again as growing cities are pressuring track owners to close shop because of the noise. )

you see far more big police crackdowns on intersection takeovers and pop up meets where people are drifting than on stance cars lol

Why he dind buy a manual then?

​@@KINGVONFRM063he said he got a good deal on that car

i swing my car and im stanced and auto soooo

thats not bad if thats all, just needs to get a fuel cell and hes good

useless no, looks way better yes "well engineered" well thhey sure left looks out of the equation with that

Now it’s a feature lmao

im glad thats over with

and it looks amazing? and im into cars completely yet i love stance, and the looks of the car matter most

kxys

@@govauu English please?

Yeah, I get "my first mod" vibes from a lot of stance cars.

@michael blacktree that's exactly what i mean

Youre still totally missing the point

Wow it’s almost like… there parts that correct the suspension geometry so none of that happens 😱

@@thegabe6389 Is still bottomed out, and massive negative camber bruh

@@XenonG again u can buy suspension parts that will stop you from bottoming out

its not unsafe and i daily drive mine

That's what an idiot kid say and said dam I can do that. Goes home and maxed out his camber to match the look.

They couldn't find a car that sits fender to lip all around either

You have a FoRS as a profile pic. Obviously you care about neither. 😄

ur corny if u dont care about the looks

Dude literally every car is a money pit

@@James-po2sv dude literally yes, unless you drive an old accord your going to spend money

@@James-po2sv correction- every PROJECT car. Yeah it sure is cheap to run old jdm cars stock but its also about as boring as your taste in cars is. "tImE tO gRoW uP aNd DrIvE sToCk CoMpAnY FoRdS tO pAy BiLlS." Maybe get a job where you can afford to have some fun, boomer.

@@James-po2sv and let me guess they where all stock or “OEM+” yeah obviously driving a stock car won’t be expensive, now lest compare a stock S-Chassis to a built SR20 240sx drift car and see if it’s still reliable, no it’s not it’s common sense who I’m taking about

@@beautifulbeaner no it isn’t. You can build a car to make it perform better, look better, all while making it reliable. If your car is a money pit is simply because it’s built poorly. Period

That's my build. It's certainly preferred.

Yeah there's kits that seem designed just for that kind of build. Like BN Sports stuff

stop getting older then

@@govauu Well i stopped getting older i'm reversing my age but i grew wiser and matured tho.

@@MrAudi220 u clearly didnt get wiser if u think stance is bad now

the reason i personally have is that it looks way too good

all for the looks, and id do it again a million times

This has always been view, you wrote it better than I ever would have .🙌🏾

look attractive over function bruh

You can literally say this for any other car community lol

@@thegabe6389 yeah, these guys are just bs. Its not like enthusiast cars will cease to exist LOL

This is such a silly take

ruin them my ass we make them look 100x better

YES!!!

Inbreeding

yup, that rear squat fad sure is goofy.. leaf spring lowering blocks cost a lot less than decent drop spindles for the front to match, lots easier to install too! (yee-haw!)

At least they have correct wheel alignment. ;)

WhistlinDiesel will line up to crush them all

L autocross for changing you

im commenting rn except ive nevver drank or smoked or done any drugs soooo

fenders barely even ruined

New York has some really good roads though? There isn’t anyone finding backroads and doing touge runs?

@Christian Gotsch not publicly, that I know of. There's some nice back roads I go up to, pretty close by. Getting a crew together to mess around and hang out would be amazing. I used to go to meets to meet people but its mostly slammed cars lol 😆 maybe I'm doing it wrong

@@YeffRamos I doubt these types of groups are public. Sometimes it just takes you inviting people out. From my experience and talking to others, you may find a group of 10-20 people will only net 1-2 who want to go out every week for a cruise. Honestly I feel like if that's what it takes, that's what it takes. I've found more cruising groups by starting/ being a part of groups than asking around to find a group.

@@mrs_radrod I feel like most of those groups also tend to be an older crowd that you won't typically find sitting around in parking lots or at "car meets"

this doesnt happen

i was kidding if that wasnt obvious enough lmao

Engineers of every car company spent a lot of resources making a car drive, ride safe and comfortably. And then we have kids that ruin all of that using cheap bolt ons from ebay.

@@germaineliew2012 Not even that - if you want it to be unique and rad, there are third party engineers who let you start expanding capability in one area at the expense of some of that very safe set of engineering targets, which can add visual bling and performance in key areas... instead it's a performance downgrade to make it visually even more different

bro most people do NOT do -20 bro thats next level

Except this is even worse than furries

Most of us are very mechanically inclined and wouldn't do something like this that destroys our car.

they are being unique, and it looks amazing

Well said.

Perfect.

yeah bro those shots at the indoor auto show of the R8, Aventador, 350z with the mirror-finished wheels and full custom wraps look so cheap and underfunded... smh lol

strong opinions that don't make sense are given in the comments of youtube videos by people who are low on critical thinking and social acceptance, who can't afford to take the time to think before they say things. Every dumbass is either currently at this point or has been at one point. As much as I wince when I read these comments, it's no different than facebook.
