The nice thing about initially being suspected a troll, is that you get to hear/see what folks REALLY think.

Didn't the cambered look come about from people lowering their cars incorrectly by just cutting springs and not compensating for it in the alignment and then just said, "I did it 'cause it looks cool"? Or from the air ride guys who are always adjusting their ride height so there is no adjustment that can be made so the wheels are always at the correct camber. Drive into the parking lot, drop the air from the suspension and the control arms swing on their pivots and the wheel tilts in.

From what I've been told, there is a specific Japanese car (either the Evo or Impreza STI, forgot which one specifically) that a tuning shop over there discovered benefited in terms of performance from extreme camber you see in "Hellaflush" or "Stance" style cars. Some people saw that and thought it looked cool, and began copying it and thus that particular scene was born. I can assure you almost everyone that is into Hellaflush or Stance realizes such a setup cornholes their handling, ride, tire wear, etc. but does it because they like the look.

HAHA @Noobz347 ^^^. That guys spent so much money on that mustang it's not even funny. It's all in pieces as of now, he's in the works of something completely different for it. Oddly enough he doesn't even like mustangs. Hell 700hp and full Accu-air suspension, I'll take it .
