    I originally got referred from another site from one of the hilarious threads on lowering a car with some longer bolts and nuts for spacers on the strut mount. After a few good laughs I kept poking around and took some interest in some of the builds, so I think I'll be sticking around to watch.

    Unfortunately I don't bring much to the table in terms of stance. My three rides don't have anything close to it. The DD is a rather tame 02 Neon, I still haven't finished the restoration of my 1970 Cutlass S, and most of the time I'm working on the main project, a heavily built motor swapped 00 Mustang GT, with the heart of a ported/pullied/cammed 03 Cobra motor.

    The closest I've come to having a stanced car was when I brought my Mustang home and it had about -4 deg of camber up front, and a couple degrees out back.


    Now I'm sure 98% of you have lost interest, but here's a couple brief pictures of the build for the 2%.

    Took this mess out:


    In favor of this bad boy:


    Ahhh, that's much better isn't it?

    But wait! That motor forgot it's hat! It's evil, evil, ported and pullied hat.


    There we go. Now I just have to keep at it, working in that cramped garage with no power, heat, or light. No problem, right?

    Oh, and don't forget all the other fun nonsense that went in, like clutch transmission, fuel tank, blah blah blah stuff that isn't rims tires or suspension.

    And as if you didn't want to smack me in the mouth for showing my stance-less face around here already, I can't say stance is big on the agenda. It's already lowered 2" all around, and will probably be seeing some 17x9 torque thrusts up front and 17x10.5 out back, with a 315 tire taking up all that room from wheel well to quarter lip that I've already rolled.

    But I'm looking forward to watching some of the exciting builds that go down here.

    'Stance' doesn't have to be scraping your car along the floor, that is simply the scene that has caught on. As long as your car looks amazing (in your eyes) while your rolling down the street, that is your own personal perfect stance.

    Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

        Thanks man.

        The Mustang got the old P-71 Interceptor 4.6 SOHC (same as those Crown Vic cop cars) taken out and replaced with a 2003 Cobra engine. Engine comes stock with forged crank, ARP rod bolts, Manley H-beams, Zollner forged pistons, and I put in some nice upgrades like FR500 cams, home made head cooling mod and longtubes while it was out.

        Unfortunately the Cutlass is still back in NY half disassembled since I moved.
