if done right it looks brilliant, you can't say it looks "gay" just becuase of one totally ott gobshite with a rabbit.

i'm a ford nut through and through, but havent got tunnel vision like most of the narrowminded blacksheep gobshites on here who will just follow the trend of the "big boys" i appreciate all different makes, models and styles of cars.

i don't see why its "gay"

most people dont have loads of camber to look "cool" on a dub, its so wider wheels with stretched tyres will fit under the arch.
People with other marques doing it are still very much in the minority though, and are effectively just copying ideas from the VAG scene, so it's all the same really.

I'm not basing my opinion totally on this fucktard, I've seen countless VAGs and euro cars following similar trends, even to less extreme levels than this one.

I certainly wouldn't say I've got tunnel vision myself. I don't own a Cossie, or an RS Turbo. I like both, but I'm a big fan of far less commonly modified blue ovals, ask anyone who knows me.

This whole thing gets slated so much for pretty solid reasons as far as I can see. To 99% of the car world, it really does look wanker than wank having these silly camber set ups and stretched tyres and things. Outside that, anyone with half a brain can see that adding large amounts of camber, stretch tyres, extremely low ride heights is seriously compromising the car's abilities in all respects. From tyre contact patch, stress on the tyre structure, stress on suspension and drivetrain components, stress on the chassis itself, the list just goes on. These cars must just be god awful and pretty scary to drive at times, which completely defeats the object of a car really
