Figs, you need either more meat or bigger wheels. Those look too small for those wheel wells.

I wasn't a fan of stance until Kat and I followed him home and saw what that fitment looked like from behind. Like a boss.

Stance isnt a brand, its a slang term for that super-stretched tire on overflush wheel fitment which, like Hansel, is SO hot right now.

Actually you're both wrong

http://thmotorsports.com/stance/stan.../i-224501.aspx

His fitment, or stance, is pretty clean. Not hella flush, just nice and flush. His suspension is Stance coilovers, not sure the type. Glad we all got that clear

Uhm, you just proved I was right, not wrong. Those are Stance coilovers, that means Stance is the brand. If someone asked him, "What brand coilovers you got?" His answer would be, "Stance."

I was originally saying it was a nice stance (position), without knowledge of Stance (the brand). Also notice the difference in capitalization between the noun and the proper noun.

StanceNation isn't necessarily affiliated with the brand, but is a community for all stanced (altered position) vehicles.

All I know is that the setup like our buddy with the silver 8 had was slick, but once they start having to tuck the wheels and camber them out at a 45 degree angle, they become the enemy.

I was originally going to purchase STANCE SUSPENSION for the FD until Pettit Racing came out with their Trak Pro's. The Apexi was nice as well, but oh well

Having an agressive stance such as the silver rx8 looks very nice! And yes his suspension setup are STANCE as Figs mentioned.....

I'm a total grammar ****. Not like an English teacher, but common sense grammar goes a long way; especially on the internet where you can't hear tone of voice or emotion.

Lee I meant to inform you that the brand Stance is actually a brand not to disprove your definition of the word

Tuck and camber or hella flush was just one of those fads I never really understood. Sure it looks cool but the usability...

Anyways, anyone have a preference for hotel between the Marriott or Holiday Inn. Both are pretty close to each other near the edge of the coast. I'll be setting up a thread either by the end of the night or by tomorrow morning.

Plans: Hopefully leave from fresno around 9-10am on saturday the 21st.
Meet up with any of the other people that are north of 99 at the 152 cross
Break/Gas/Cool down at los banos
The rest of the day is going to consist of exploring Monterey and enjoying the area.

Sunday will be the cruise to Santa Cruz. Hopefully here we can meet up with a few of the San Jose guys and add to our numbers. A couple highways above the area look pretty curvy so I really want to do a run out in that area before the drive back to the valley.

Everything else is pretty open to what we can do while we're there. Like I said I'll be starting a thread and a list by the latest tomorrow.

Too hot, dude.

I don't have a working a/c. Call me selfish, but I'm not about to sweat my ***** off. I'd rather wait till it cools down towards September or so.
