What does the stance crowd think about...

[rubadub]

Some cars can pull it off, some cant. It depends on what the owner wants to do.

IMO, bags are awesome, but people with coils that are slammed get way more rep.

You obviously don't know about the Mk4 VW scene. If your shit doesn't have fenders sitting on the side wall you're not stanced most of the time.

I'll stick with my coils. I'll just get stiffer springs, set for stiffer settings, and have fun washing tire off my fender.

proper stance has nothing to do with wether your on bags or coils, proper stance for both applications takes research, trial and error to get the look you want. I give respect where its due.

Don't get me wrong i love seeing a car laying frame as much as the next guy but i think it takes quite the enthusiast to be willing to learn to live with a slammed car day in and day out.

Bags just makes everything too easy, but not in a good way.

haha. i handled static for a couple years.

its not that i dont love rollin around slammed on coils, but it becomes a problem when i break my $800 lip a few times.




id rather roll around knowing that i wont have to worry about breaking shit and still having the slammed look. its cheating, but its not a competition. we arent getting graded. for me, slammed is slammed. its just a look. when i made it a lifestyle i spended more money than i needed to.

trust me, i LOVE watching peoples faces as i scrape up inclines, its just not worth it to me anymore. for some people, its worth it.

bags ftw. convenience ftw

have you guys ever looked into a roberuta-type setup? pricey, but they're like little canisters that sit between the spring and the top perch on your coilovers. you fill them up with a little bit of air (like 40psi) and they'll go up to momentarily clear speed bumps or driveways, but when you deflate them, they're solid. all of the top secret cars out of japan (even their 1400hp drag supra, i think) runs those. so you get the benefit of raising your car at certain times, without the poser-ish connotation of running bags super high while driving.

Thats exactly what I'm talkin about. Guys on coils get more credit cuz we dont lift over bumps and drivceways.

I'm not knockin bags, I'm just saying its less respectable in the sense that you don't HAVE TO drive that height. Obviously no one knows what you do when you're rollin daily, but I find it hard to believe that you're gonna drag your car over every Driveway, bump, or imperfection you come across if you're on bags. Us on coils have no choice.

Yeah. That's what I was gonna say but couldn't figure out how to say it.



I'm not gonna say I don't respect dudes who go crazy low on bags but if you don't drive that low, what's the point?

[cheez80]

Its different with bags because they dont drive at their stationary height like guys on coils do.

Well put. I don't like bags just because they make the ride so soft, I enjoy my race car like stiff suspension and taking turns like my car is on rails.

true to an extent. you can always use air cylinders as an alternative. they take much much more pressure to get the car off the ground and since they dont expand and contract like a bag does, those two factors make the ride much more firm. match that with 8 valves for independent corners, and its pretty stiff. well, depends on how stiff is stiff for you.
