the tilted stance bugs me
Hi guys,

i really like the stance of the 55 in this pic then notice it actually tilted forward. my Question is in real life, how was it achieved and what repercussions?

cheers,
Ed~

He could have the shocks backwards, front to rear. This is what happens, though the back looks to be more or less normal.

hi guys,

ya... u r right it parked downhill and i notice most photos use different angle shots to achieve this look & covet

btw, wouldn't front/rear have different mount?

i wonder if i have overall bigger rear wheel set up maybe f18/r19 achieve similar effect visually?

btw, m drooling over this hre vintage atm



cheers,
ed~
