^^Yeah yeah I am well aware you can have both. I like to think I am a perfect example of that. My wheels are flush and I still run a 275 with only -2 camber.

I am surprised you see a lot of hella flush up in the northeastern states since roads are bad and you have a long winter. What do you drive in the winter by the way?

I'm just playing. I don't mind the HellaFlush crowd. I am more a function over form guy myself, but, although it's not my bag, I can appreciate and respect some of the more aggressive set-ups. The over-the-top stuff doesn't do it for me, though. As for the Northeast... There are many POS cars that are just slammed, scraping the pavement. More often than not, they are done the wrong way, too. These are more common than the HellaFlush crowd, but those guys are still here, too, just not as common as on the left coast.

Gotcha, I like function over form as well. Still like seeing all the guys pushing limits though.

I agree with you on this one as well, for my car I want a decent stance that is still daily driveable... I hate having that lurking fear in the back of my mind that I'm going to scrape HARD and damage something or even worse get stuck somewhere. Not to mention passengers (especially the ladies) asking whats wrong with my car and acting scared when you go around a corner and rub

It IS cool to look at all the guys doing crazy stuff tho, mainly only see them at shows and what not, but its kind of a form of art IMO
