AJ, It's not a threat...it's a warning that quite a few members here on 6GC are going for the HellaFlush look.

I personally think it looks good on some vehicles and like rubbish on others; my 6GC will never be HellaFlush.

I think it looks garbage. The only time I've liked it is seeing it on Vdubs. Other than that...to me, that S2k up there looks like crap. I'd much rather see it with some nice 17's that are just flush with the fender, sans the insane camber and stretched tires.

This, minus the part about vdubs IMO.

Practicality goes right out the window when you do that to a car. But it looks cool....

Hella flush is all about stance. It does nothing for performance unless you want to drift (if your on stretched tires.) Flush doesn't always mean your on stretched tires with a good amount of poke outside your fenders as some seem to think that's all it is. Basically the goal is to have your wheels flush with the fenders. Just wheels is not gonna get you the right stance though. you have to dump your car (preferably on bags) with the right camber and a good fender roll to achieve flush fitment. I'm working on it with my 6gc. Its all personal preferance. I don't like the sucked in look to me it's unattractive. So I'm going for some deep dished goodness with streched tires and a lil poke. to each his own

i personally like the "flush" look, but it doesn't serve a function... crazy offsets are bad for bearings, and cause poor handling. along with being flush a lot of guys stretch tires. again it looks good, but no point really. bad tire wear and loss in performance. flush looks good, but it isn't ideal for daily driving.

The insane camber is the real JDM VIP
The red 240 is true HF
The rest is a watered down Hawaii HF style

Guess who's Yaris is that

Heh,
I'd love to see these cars try and make it over a speed bump.

This is actually worse for your handling as well, your car will naturally have body roll (even with super large diameter sways, sweet coilovers, and all the braces you want) so dropping your car this much won't eliminate it. The point of lowering the suspension is to get more aerodynamics, but also to use matched springs with struts that give your car better handling when on a track while also lowering your CG to give you better in-turn and exiting. Case in point, these would rub if you ever actually raced these on a track, and more than likely you'd rip off a fender attempting to do so. And racing on the street? Good luck finding decent pavement. Essentially, it's all for looks and is completely impractical.

this is insanely stupid but people just want to see if they can get the lowest or have the most camber just to be "that huy"
