> [@KrazyKid"](#): > > Thanks for the props Ollie! Car and the pics look fly! > > Thats the body panels fault. Look at the center chrome body line, then look at the rear arch and the front arch. The front is cut much higher than the rear, making it look raked. Same as the EVO10, look at a side pic of them… they are like 2+ inches higher up front VS the rear. If the car was on air, and laid frame, you would still see tire up front and wheel out back. As it is, the car got high centered on my 220V extension cord driving over it pulling out of the shop! There is a reason, hot rods are channeled, body dropped, and sectioned to look slammed… lowering the suspension to achieve the look can only go so far. > > Time to get some extra front fenders and cut them up! Add the difference in material (body center line VS front & rear wheels arches) in to the fender, to drop the front wheel arch, then cut the difference out of the bottom at the frame… thus move the fender arch down to match the back. Alot of work, but holy shit would it be baller. From a rough est from the pics, its about 1.75" that the front arch has to drop to match the rear. This guy always knows what’s up!😃 I actually want to do the reverse of what you just said. I’m happy with the car now but next season I want to go 19s or possibly even 20s with serious fender work, mostly on the rear quarters, and custom aero. I’d like to do a 1.75-2" radius so that I can keep my current ride height, roughly, but run bigger wheels and avoid uneven wheel tuck and/or heavily raked stance. The rear doors, fender wells, everything will need to be reworked. The more that the car looks like a cartoon and not real life the better:lol all kidding aside here’s a quick google image that shows radiused fenders on an older q45 Might not be everyone’s cup of tea but I’m hooked on this style right now ---

exactly. people seem to forget that the SLAMMED look isnt all about suspension, or lack there of. Have any of you ever ridden in an old school leadsled? rolling around rockers a few inches from the ground, tucking brake rotors and looking sinister? the suspension is hardly touched and rides like a dream. Granted thats apples to oranges, but still… there is so much more to meet the eye when it comes to the look your after and getting outside the confines of putting the suspension up in the trunk/strut body! ---

This was before everyone started being bandwagon stancefags in the US and before the word “stance” was such a lame word. It’s more or less a site with a lot of variety in cars and styles and filled with people who can appreciate it all. It’s actually not just about “stance.” Check out the main page sometime, for real. Most articles aren’t even about stance, just really fucking cool automotive shit and quality photography. nothing like stancenation or any of that bs /sw pitch ---

If you go on S:N youll notice right away he allows anyone to advertise and is 100% in it for the money.
