What's the difference between 'stanced' vs. 'dropped' vs. 'stupid idiotic camber and toe-in'? Do you need stretched tires and wide rims to stance a car along with a drop?

Stance usually refers to negative camber(which you do get from lowering) but also stretch fit/lipped wheels, Along with this comes no handling and scraping but it looks pretty good in my opinion.

I have a lot of "stanced" buddies so i get yelled at when i use the term inproperly




My buddy rickys r53, hes on here and "stanced"






Stupid idiotic





Dropped would be like the fitment you refer too/ flush




Goto canibeat.com plenty to look at there

Thanks!!! I love that leather too

The interior mirror is glued on, is a plastic and paste it above the mirror.
It's cheap and looks good

yeah, I wouldn't call it stanced. Granted I can't even fit my pinkey inbetween the rear tire and the fender and my coils are all the way down (Megans), it's still not sitting the way I want it to. Here's a pic so you can kinda see the rear camber...

Thanks guys

I appreciate the effort putting those pictures for clarification. That is a pretty good looking s2000...I've always drooled over those.

Another good pic BadMINI

I'm running Yokohama S-Drives... HUGE improvement over the stock runcraps. I wanted some Nitto Neo Gens, but they were on nationwide backorder when I needed to re-up.

This is the second set of S-Drives I have had... previously had them on my clubman. They're great tires. Supper grippy and look killer.

From L to R: mine, boyfriend's and Mom's. I guess you could call it a MINI family reunion.
