Suck it, Paul! lol Just kidding.

Aggressive over > hella flush. I don't even know what hellaflush is anymore.
OP: You need to at least have some coilovers, pref with camber plates up front, rear camber bolts, a fender roll, and some aggressive fitting wheels. Take a look at wrongfitmentcrew.com for some more info.

Just finished putting these in, still need to drop it a tiny bit more. Teaser.

Thanks, but I wish the front end didn't look like a tree fell on it.

I don't remember, but it was some shop in so cal. They're just Muteki neo chromes. I'm thinking of selling them for some locking kics though.

I got bored of them already. Plus I always wanted some rpf1's and they're at least 10lbs lighter per wheel.
The kyowas can probably be seen on a northbay subie now. lol

OP- If you like the look and really want it, do it. But you have to do it right. No half-assing or it looks terrible and people will hate. Also, before you go aggreesive, you have to understand what changes have been made and be aware of what these changes do. Research.

I agree that the aggressive "stanced' look is a bit different then the hellaflush look. The hellaflush crew is all about getting that wheel into the fender and as flush as possible. Either way it's really up to you since it's your car.

You can run wide wheels with low offset without having to go all the way hellaflush.

Mine are 18x9.5 +33 (5mm spacers to clear brembos) with 255/35/18 Star Specs.

Just low enough but not slammed where I need a ton of camber. I am super happy with it and have made it almost 2 years on my star specs without any major wear. (Just bought a new set that need to go on)

Yup i totally agree... flush cars are impossible to track . zomg, just asking for the tire to come off the rim !

and seriously because everyone on iclub tracks their cars, i can see why hellaflush is hella dumb.... i mean seriously last stat i saw some 97 percent of iclub members track their cars on a regular basis . I mean i know your car sees the track once a month?

Cars are purpose built and lets face it, most peoples cars are daily drivers that will never see the track. You built your motor correct? put down a HELL of a lot of hp right? do you need 400 whp for the street? are you in that much of a rush to get to work and have your car sit in a parking lot?

My car was purpse built , to get me to and from work , to haul the dog around town, and to get groceries... all while looking good... and i must say, it does it just fine even with the stretched tires


and the video, hellaflush gets all the *****es ... that was pretty funny , even i laughed it doesnt get the *****es but it did land me in Super Street

If you are interested in HellaFlush,go to iwsti.com and go through the HellaFlush thread in the GD section. It is well over 200 pages. You will learn everything that you want to know about HellaFlush,including what the many downsides are.
