Just wondering who's considered hellaflush and please post your pics to prove it.......THANKS

Also post pics of the "lowest" the coils go if you have them and are set at that :mike :mike :mike

(taken from another site.....)
It was around 2003 when the term was coined. We were pushing the limits of offset on our drift cars and one day a friend of mines (Jerry) said, dude.. that ****'s hellaflush. And that was that. It's not a new thing as we've seen in some magazines from Europe and Japan but it's a term we feel is fitting (excuse the pun) cause there are a few degrees flushness.

Mexi: When the offset of the wheels are off by a lot and are poking out of the fender. You see this a lot on low riders, lots of new 240 and ae86 owners, sometimes boro car owners in japan, and on 1970's vans for some odd reason.

Flush: Perfect Offset. Lowered but not slammed. Most people in our community refer to these as daily drivers. About a half inch fender to tire gap. Lots of drifters are flush just cause any lower, you'll be dragging body kit as seen on Matt Powers and Mad Mike in his RX8, which we'll use to defined the term Hellaflush. (This is pretty much what dreed is i believe)

Almost: is exactly that, Almost. Almost perfect offset. Almost the perfect ride height. Super close but not quite there yet.

Hellaflush: Perfect Offset, Super Slammed and Driveable. Most owners scrape over everything and it doesn't bother them. Its a lifestyle decision that many people don't want to get out of and conform to.

site to refer to for pics...... http://speedhunters.com/archive/2009/11 ... ition.aspx

Not "driveable" unless you drive like an elderly woman.

A car needs suspension travel and sidewall stregth to be TRULY "driveable".

These guys are hard-parkers. That's all.

I'll admit, it's cool-looking in many cases, in others it's just retarded. Your AC will look silly (and you'll be in even MORE trouble with potholes).

Flame suit on. :naughty:

I don't understand how "hellaflush" applies to what clearly already has a name.

It's called VIP fitment, bippu or whatever the Japanese call it.

Whats up PhEnoM78. I am the first stanced Altima coupe that I know of. Currently sitting on 19 x 9.5/ 245/35 all of the way around/ offset +20 in the front +15 in the rear/ -2.8 degrees of camber in the rear, -1.5 in the front/ BC coilovers fully lowered in the front, with 2 perches left in the rear. Slammed and very aggressive.

Thank you very much PhEnoM78. I will get some pictures up as soon as possible. I do not have a camber kit, I was not aware that there was one out. Who makes it? I need to pick them up.

It's true. I am currently un-slamming my s14 due to suck.

Also like AZ said, it can look amazingly sweet... though more on OLDER Asian cars not the new stuff.

Oh wow, I did not know that Eibach made them for our cars, nor did I know that the z and g camber arms worked. Is there a thread where any of this has been discussed? If so, please add a link. Thank you.

Nice!
Do you rub?
Yes, I do rub in the rear, but only going over very stiff bumps or extremely hard turns. Rubbing can be alleviated by tightening the damper settings on the coilovers because the springs will not compress.

I also forgot to mention that I have my rear fenders rolled and pulled.

Driving slammed and stanced is not as bad as people make it seem. If you go this route you are a car enthusiast, therefore the same potholes, ditched etc that you would avoid usually are the same ones you will avoid while stanced with the addition of a little more conciousness for whats going on in the road.

I would love to see more stanced coupes because it truly makes our cars look like a different beast.

Where you can drive is determined by elevations in the road (carlisle had a few turns that you may rub on.

Taking this into consideration.... 245/35/20s on 20x8.5 wheels with a +38 offset wont let you rub...
This i know from thousands of miles of experience on them. If you go coils, you will have to test yourself.

99% of the guys here dont drive like I do (autocross) and although many things may be "street" safe, autocross and aggressive driving add a whole new element to the way the car responds and reacts.

You have to pick at some point... are you down for show, or down for go?
You can be "both" only to a certain point, then you need to do what makes sense!
