Meh, there are right and wrong ways to do everything

"stance" has nothing to do with it, that person would probably have a POS car regardless of the fitment

LOL... I think you misunderstood my completely ambiguous post. I was saying wow about the crazy stupid suspension configs in this thread... "wow" is all I can say because of the bad settings.

looks like its cold and wet. car probably had power. could have happened regardless of ride height.. most "stiffer" suspension would have been unsettled by that.
crash was caused by heavy accelerating just before he hit the joint and he landed with tires sliding. definitely driving stupid.

If you combine stupid driving with compromised tire contact patch and suspension travel, you're gonna have a bad time.

this post makes me smile...
wish i had a pic of the neon i saw planted in the rear of the a truck the other night in the rain.
his 9 degrees of camber w/215's on 18x10's looked sick while he was picking up his bumper off the side of the highway.

i have a built 83 gti track car and have been in the vw scene off and on over the years. its amazing how many cars on vwvortex are just straight death traps beause it looks awesome.

Poor Subaru in the OP. It's just a matter of time before this happens to the BRZ/FRS.

That video has to be for laughs, pretty sure those are cardboard duct taped fenders.

You guys are going to hate my car when I get back from my 6 month vacation... and my car will be at the track gripping more then the majority of folks across these boards.

I have to say my favorite kind of people are the ones that throw so much hate towards someones car for being flush blah blah blah... IBruinedsuspensiongeometry, etc... Buy suspension components for their car based of reading what they hear was functional on the internet THEN never track or use the car for what the upgrades were intended for. You might as well be hard parking like the fucks that take it to another level in which you call "hellafail". There's a lot of these type of guys in the Subaru/Evo community, and there's probably even more here.

All in all if you don't track a car as much as you say you do, you shouldn't be giving guys that "stance" their cars shit.

Did you miss the entire point of this thread?
This is nothing about being stanced. This is about the safety so many throw away when they do it.

Sure are a lot of comments directed at stanced cars in general/vw community etc... I have no problem with guys rolling 4-6 degrees of negative camber, now that celica type shit... that's a different subject.
