Introductions

Well hi there, my name is Nick Schwear and this blog is about stance. What is stance? Stance is a term in the car world used for describing the way a car sits or is positionsed, normally quite different from stock height. Creating stance has many variables which usually include lowering the car, adding new aftermarket wheels with a proper offset, using spacers to push the wheels out, or adding camber. The stance movement has been around for years but is just coming into its own within the past two years. This movement started with drifters in Japan because all of the previously mentioned variables of stance are required for that particular style of driving, the europeans fancied this new styling and made it their own, and finally we in the States are picking up on the movement, largely out of California. Well that's just a small backround, I'll be posting up more information on stance soon along as some feature cars/examples.
