    Some performance camber tires might just provide that racer's edge........

    Non movement is better as the Stance /Stretch / Poke makes moving the cars something they don't do very well. Tires wear out, cars bang and scrape the undercarriage etc.

    I guess I'm missing it. This is a show car right, so does toe really matter?

    Take any working car and drop it off a 3 story building STANCE look and functionality achieved. :lol:

    I've been saying that since stance started taking the VW world by storm years ago (which is why I don't go to shows anymore) - it's the busted suspension look.

    Didn't like his stance crap in the VW world and dislike it even more here. If it's art - put it in a gallery, don't drive it and don't call yourself an automotive enthusiast.

    Yeah well I can take a crap and call it art also, but that does not mean its art.

    Where do I fall in this philosophy then?

    You know my R53 isn't a plain jane build, and has been called a work of art... Is the only reason that it doesn't fall into the shift pile category the fact it can still get down on twisted blacktop?

    You car is functional art but with your wilwoods and tires you proved you can't get down a twisty road at MOTD. :lol::lol::lol::lol:

    Since you asked - truthfully rat style cars are not my thing, but you did the work yourself, and your car is still setup to haull ass and corner - so I am good with it.
