I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Re: What do I need?
That Miata looks like another car was dropped on it... I wouldn't do that to my car if it was free.

Re: What do I need?
If you want reduced sidewall flex, buy bigass wheels and skinny little tires. No need to melt rubber and endanger innocent people who happen to share a roadway with you. This, to me, is like driving around with only rear brakes. Sure, you have better weight distribution, but you're dead the moment you need brakes.
Btw, don't remove your front brakes for racing -.- I don't want to give anybody bad ideas, and that's a bad idea.

The more I learn about how the mechanics of cars actually work, the less I like the poser BS. That miata looks dead.

Re: What do I need?
Amen to that. Honestly though, I never thought that looked cool... I also thought FatF was cheesy the first time I saw it. Sure, I've seen it a few times since then, but I have a thing for '70 Chargers.

Re: What do I need?
Yeah even the stance brigade are a bit like ... ewwww
Think its just a massive status symbol, as in I can afford a new set of tyres every week.
oni / demon camber > special axles

Re: What do I need?
This is just like Umm how can i drive on the inside edge of my rim.. hmm let me think. or its like Dude I have more camber than you... No you don't, I have more than you... Oh yah, look what I just did....
Ok, I think some cars do look pimp with a bit of camber and stretch, but there are always those who go over the top. Like a boat metallic paint job. I will always try and keep it clean, be in the belief that the more TIRE you can fit in the well the better
