I am more than happy to see the bandwagon ending.
A big problem with Americans is that we usually only see stuff as how it affects us. Perhaps the stance movement doesn't have the initial buzz that it once did, but in other places that buzz is at its peak or yet to occur. America isn't the center of everything, as much as we'd like to believe it is.
And I agree with you 100%, Linhberh's statement has zero affect on people driving cars with excellent fitment at the limits of ride height. That being said, I think he has his facts wrong.

Originally posted by KJK View PostWether the stance movement dies out or lives on makes no difference to me. I just don't agree with the fact that it has started to fade away, if anything, I think it's rapidly gaining speed. Take a look at Australia, New Zealand, Russia, Iceland, and what about the variety of platforms that we're seeing now (AMG mercedes, Ferrari's, mini vans, etc).

The whole "stretch and poke" thing where it is commonly used in the aggressive wheel and tire fitment themes ("stance") developed from there due to said laws. People wanted lower and wider, but still within the "laws".

Originally posted by KJK View PostI don't doubt the roots of "stance", and to be honest, I was not aware that the laws shaped the scene. However, I simply believe that Linhbergh has his facts wrong, see my response to Kielan. I would love to hear your opinion on my thoughts.
But, like any car scene, it's not going anywhere. Shit, I still see people with neon underglow and fart cans that fast and the furious helped make so popular.

Originally posted by Kielan View PostOk, so what does that even matter? He stated an opinion. You have yours.. I don't see the point to going on about it?
I like the fact that the stance scene is competitive and it's hard to stand out. If it was really fading away, that would make everything easier. We wouldn't see the same quality or number of builds that we do now. Competition breeds excellence, just take a look at production cars! I want to keep the movement thriving for as long as possible, and Linhbergh's statement just seemed depressing. That's why I was going on about it.

If you are doing this all to "stand out" and its "competitive" then you are doing this for all the wrong reasons. All the "quality" builds that are out there, are from the guys who won't stop building cars like this, the people who aren't just on the bandwagon. Those builds aren't going anywhere. That's a fact.
Competition may breed excellence, but I can't say I know 1 person who really builds their car, solely so that they can out do someone else (talking about stance here not about racing). They do it because its what they love, the love challenging themselves. Not because it will make them well known or e-famous.- Kielan (Key-lin)
