I never understand the idea of hellaflush. Can someone educate me? What's good and what's bad?

are there any positive things about doing this?

Correct me if I'm wrong but it doesn't seem like it would aid performance at all ...tires would be gone after one lap with that camber? increased stress on suspension parts? skrews up aerodynamics?

Cant really absorb imperfections of the road at speed either.

There zero positives. All "hellaflush" and "stance" stuff are form > function.

Cool

I actually like stance...but there is a limit.
Here is an example of the perfect stance

That car looks great. Very clean and not totally failed up like all of the other Hellaflush crowd.

I still cringe when I think about things like working suspension travel, though. Call me HellaFunctional.

put me in the HellaFunctional club too.

I do like the stance on the blue 370z though, looks sweet, but I'm sure it lacks in performance because of the slam. And the offset for those rims are what I like. Maybe I'm just getting too old for this stuff.

I agree. Flushnismo's setup is bad***.

It is what it is. As long as it's tasteful I don't mind. I definitely like Flushnismo's car.

It's the ridiculous stuff like in the OP that just blows my mind.
