What is 'stanceworks'?

[Jay Z.]

Read a few pages of that LOL.

[vdubkid]

saw that pop up last night. i don't understand why some people get their panties all twisted just because others don't mod their car in the same way.

[Bimmerteck]

stanceworks is a myth, it simply doesn't exist.

[e30bmw]

I ended up posting in that thread.

And Mike, don't ban me for asking this, but when will you finish the E36?

[c-ron]

I read it. I lol'd.

[SeanDub]

Hell even if there is a non stanced car on here we dont "attack" the person lol...
much <3

Its more like hazing.

[TheNeek]

Threads like that make me happy. You know what else causes distaste like that? Art. Everyones car here is a canvas. We paint what we want. Then we show it off. StanceWorks is like a museum.

i think that actually may be worse then r3v due to the shocking amount of plain ignorance.

Im impressed.

[MrJereMoose]

I didn't know other BMW forums ***** stance too. I had sort of forgotten about all the drama the StanceCrowd had at bf.c, and reminds me why it's so nice to be on here... However, I do miss the pages and pages of debate, but I don't miss the ignorant asshats...

Dear Mr. Burroughs,

Since everyone is probably going to look for your post as I did I figure it wouldn't hurt to just quote it here.

I would like to say that your reply to all of that made my day. Thank you.

I came to put some of the bullshit flying around here to shame.

What is StanceWorks?

Its a website for people interested in how cars look over how they perform. This is our opinion. You may disagree with us, but who really cares? If you're letting that get your panties in a bunch, you need to get real. Cars are cars, we all have them for different reasons.

To Raza:

Your comments about being cheap, fake wheels, etc... You couldn't be more wrong.
Most of us **** replica wheels. You obviously don't know who I am, because if you did, part of my reputation is for an utter distaste in replica wheels.
As for being cheap, my wheel collection out-values every mod on your car. Why? Its what I like to do. You like superchargers. I like wheels.
Why does that mean we can't be cool with each other?

Its attitudes like yours which lead to the creation of StanceWorks. We used to hang out on bimmerforums as a "clique"; however, people like you just kept shitting and shitting on every thread.

Do you have something to prove? Because if not, chill out a bit and realize its all personal taste. No one is asking you to like, or approve, of what we've done to our cars.... but no need for the bashing and making yourself look like a fool.

And for what its worth, the **** talking about us... You really, really need to know what you're **** talking before you do it.

As the owner of StanceWorks and owning cars that I want to represent my site, you're ****-talking this:





If you're not as stupid as you make yourself out to be, that's an S54'd E36, with GC race-spec coilovers, GC/TMS suspension components, custom lightweight drive-line, AP headers and corsa exhaust, and more done to the motor than I want to unveil right now. Brembo BBK is on its way. The car is sitting on 255s on each corner. They're stretched, but they're there.

So please, learn something before you **** talk. While my car's tires might not "fit" the way you want and it might be a bit lower than you'd go, everything else about it falls in to your "nice" category.

I didn't think anyone here had seen this.

Ignore my douchebaggery.

Mike, I like your style of douchebaggery. I missed how all you had to do was post a dope picture of one of your cars, beg people to be nice, and then had to step in once there was drama. And then all you would do was use logic, explain what opinions are, and point out that you didn't start the drama. Yes it was hard work dealing with the ignorance at bf.c, but it was good edutainment!

I think this sums it up pretty well. My artistic side just wont let my car be too cookie cutter

[Schieldrop]

stanceworks is kids in high school or college who couldnt afford proper suspension or mods so they put fake wheels on their cars, cut their springs, and instead of having a proper alignment done they just set the camber all the way to as far negative as it will go, followed by turning around and trying to say its cool.

o i forgot to add that they also purchase tires in smaller sizes because the right sizes cost extra money, so skinnier tires are cheaper.

LOL... What a god among men.

[MrJereMoose]

I like how people say that we jumped on a bandwagon, but I've been hearing the same tired, old arguments from the "function over form" bandwagon forever, and it's all assumptions like that stretched tires will kill you, and hard suspension ruins the car...


...and all their cars look the same... silly sheep


I like to think that this is a pretty diverse forum. There's bimmers, and veedubs, and hondas, and subarus, and benzs, and audis, and nissans, and fords, and pretty much everything else. We have static suspensions and air setups and people that haven't modded their car yet. We don't **** on each other like on other boards, even if members aren't fans of a brand or model, they usually express how they like "this one" or accept the "to each his own" philosophy. I rarely see negative comments here, and if a car isn't stanced hard, then the comments are usually constructive criticism like "needs spacers" or "needs more low" which is expected when a site has a mantra like "Low Is A Lifestyle"...

[SeanDub]

No man, you're wrong. We all have poor taste, shitty wheels and cut springs.
