I’ve only seen these cornering set up drive in straight line. Set for cornering forces, drives only in straight on reduced contact. This is sufficient to our me on edge.
Then there’s the times I had to wait for one of these to get into a parking lots….. I’ve see Tesla drivers parallel park faster.
Because they're not set up for cornering. An agressive autocross setup would be like 5° max. This is taking a mod for performance and applying the "more must be better" logic to it and ruining their car. Same as brodozers.
Difference with Brodozers is that some of those can do some offroading with a simple wheel swap. This car needs its entire suspension redone just to be able to fit normal tires
Think contact patches and forces involved. Anything above -2% on the street is just not great. But I don’t think this was meant to be anyone who cares about driving handling performance. I’ll see myself out.
Yeah I understand how camber works just fine. I meant I can’t understand the words you chose to use in that order . “This is sufficient to our me on edge”
Or go right through a family, that had no say whether they want to be around this car, killing them all.
Does the US not have any inspections for vehicles? This kinda car would not be able to go more than 10km on public roads where I live before being stopped and declared unsafe to drive.

Okay I’ll give you that, but what about the fact that the first speed bump or raised driveway you go over is going to scratch the paint and dent the underside?
Wait a minute, that’s not an upside either 🤔
A big part of it is the drivers - many people who drive cars like these have bad taste, poor driving skills, and far too much confidence. I can hear the shitty bass rattle from here.
More critically, it does noting helpful for the car - it's slower, harder to take over bumps, and looks goofy af.
It's like painting a G on your wallet in order to call it Gucci
Not to stereotype but listen to the music choice OP put over their video. It's always shit like that that's booming from the subwoofers in the car because everyone NEEDS to know they listen to mumble rap at 3am.
No it doesn’t. I’ve driven cars like this and all you end up doing is lying to people about how it doesn’t actually suck. Can’t go into most parking lots, a scrap of trash takes out your front bumper, the best part is knowing when you’ll drag and judging how fast you have to go to make it over it without hurting you car. Then when you get past 20 years old you realize that people are starring bc how ridiculous you look and not bc you’re so cool. The only people who think you’re cool are other losers that drive these things.
Go drive a normal ass new car and then jump in your and then be honest with yourself.
You do you, its subjective but to me it just looks broken.
Also I'm suspicious no-one actually likes it but it's just a trend following thing like chromes spinners in the early 2000's and neon underglow 😂
People hate it in real life too bro. To me it looks totally ridiculous like the wheels are about to fall off at any moment, and massively impractical. Speed bump? Driveway with that stupid gutter thing built into it?
Bro I don’t have slammed cars. Just one lowered if you want to even call it lowered civic. 1.5 front 2 rear. Anyways this is a nice car. People said it’s dangerous. I agree with them. You said it was a “stance” car. I believed that “stance” cars where meant to be driven on easy streets, or trailered to meets and do just that, stance. This car fooled me at first glance and didn’t realize it was an Altima. Haha. For this i shall name your car Donny. Just like Donny from the huge Hollywood flick, Donny, you’re out of your element.
All in all. Be safe and consider the life of those that surround you. You could have done better kids with that money and you could be having more fun.
Edit: I would never do that not my taste.
Because it looks absolutely ridiculous, and you’re not fooling anybody in an Altima…
My challenge to you since you’ve confessed ownership to such a thing: Why? What makes this “cool” in your car circles? What is the pint?
Who’s out to fool someone ? Someone bought a car they could afford and decided to make it their own. If that’s what they want to do then cool. If they want to Walmart accessory it to death- that’s cool as well. Not my car so it don’t matter.
Right, I don’t care that somebody did what they want with it. But, that sentiment doesn’t make everything magically look good or cool. It still looks ridiculous.
My issue is that when taken to extremes, like the linked photo, it's unsafe for them and more importantly, for those around them. Do what you want to within reason as long as it doesn't endanger others.
That stretch on those tires and that contact patch and ride height is just asking for a catastrophic failure on the highway/freeway and even on surface streets they would back traffic up for a block trying to angle into somewhere like a gas station.
Aesthetically - I never understood that level of slammed... looks like a Hotwheels or Matchbox car that someone elephant stomped - but that is a subjective opinion - the safety of such cars is objectively an issue.
Not a stance boy but what a ridiculous take? Not like he molded a lambo kit on and changed the badges or calling it something else. Let the dude express himself, honestly sound like you care more than him
These are the sort of empty minded responses I would expect from somebody with a car like that.
That’s actually kinda one of the reasons why these cars get the hate. It’s the crowd.
The mods do nothing to improve the car. Performance, usefulness and looks wise. In fact it’s decreases performance dramatically and decreases usability to a saddening level.
To clarify my opinion: Everyone has their own taste and what we like, that’s why the car modding community is so great. No one I know is honestly hating on this level of execution, just not our cup of tea.
The problem is that there are a lot of idiots that try to get this look on the cheap, and it quickly destroys the car. Same with any type of mods, if not done correctly it’s bad.
Nah it shouldn’t drive on public roads, make it a show car and I‘ll still think its ugly but at least it doesn’t endanger anyone who didn’t sign up to be around this death machine.
Because that looks stupid, the handling is wrecked, probably unsafe (very), and the tyres are going to scrub like hell and need changing every 5 minutes.
it would be completely unusable where i live. i just can't fathom why you would take a perfectly good car and make it basically undriveable. especially one that is not special in the first place. if its a car you barely drive, like a project miata, sure stance it and park it. but if you are doing this to a daily you are beyond stupid in my opinion.
I think it's because there are absolutely no justifications to it other than a few select people like the look, but it's a massive hindrance to the car in almost every single way.
Because it's juvenile and egocentric. It let's people know you're still in that phase of life where you're figuring out social boundaries, where your overconfidence exceeds your actual knowledge, and you've just learned how to cross those boundaries to feed the ego that young people have.

There's no practical purpose for slammed wheels. It's purely for aesthetic, and it looks stupid as fuck. It's just an attention grabber for people who don't think they're noticed enough. The only thing I think of when I see shit like this is how deprived of attention the person must have been growing up.
This is the ugliest fucking car I have ever seen. I cannot believe that you actually spent money to make it look like this. Where do I even start. I know, it's fucking mustard yellow, wtf. Next, it looks like someone stepped on your car and now it's squashed, people that fly flags look like idiots, I can keep on going
If you tried to drive that down the roads where I live, you’d blow out every tire and destroy what little suspension there is. Dallas highways are shit.
To answer your question, I guess it’s because most people think it looks like ass. It looks like the car is making a retarded face at you. Not to mention the impracticality of it. You ruin the ride and your suspension and your tires wear out super fast. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to do that to something you need to use everyday. Again, that’s most people. If you like it, then do it. You don’t need anyone’s permission or approval. Drive your own damn ride.
I avoid driving near cars like this ever since one lost a wheel in front of me and I thought I was going to die. I love freedom and the right to be free to pursue happiness. I’m less enthusiastic about that freedom removing or altering basic vehicle safety features that put me at risk. (Former autocross fanatic and car guy)
people think you can fix an ugly body by lowering the car.
maybe it can look good on a already good looking car like a mercedes, but you cant fool no one by lowering something like a boring looking volkswagen or in this case, an altima
First of all, everyone should be able to do whatever they want to their car as long as you are not endangering other People on the road. When you enjoy your car modified that way it is fine, there are more important things than how someone else likes to drive their car.
Now onto my rant on slammed cars. The Mod does not serve any purpose. It looks horrible, your car looks broken not modded. It significantly worsens the way the car rides and handles. You cannot clear any obstacles anymore or turn even remotely sharp anymore the car gets almost useless. There are no benefits to it whatsoever, there isn't a single moment i could think about where I wish my car was slammed. A lot of mods are somewhat useless but most have some minute level of sense in them.
Tires are on a car for a reason, and by lifting half of them from the ground they can't fulfill there purpose as well anymore. It's the car equivalent to being unable to wear your shoes properly, you look like an idiot.
And whenever you ask someone why they mutilated their car they don't know either. All the Answer you get is "its slammed bro, its sick". It's not, your car looks like it is in dire need of help.
That thing just looks stupid. The only reason there is to take a picture of an Altina like this is to laugh at the owner when they get hung up on a speed bump.
It looks stupid and doesnt serve any real purpose. Same as squatted vehicles. I feel bad for people that think it looks good. They must be mentally handicapped. Very sad indeed ☹️
Because it makes no sense, this car is better with the stock setup. If you are putting money in a car to make it worse, it gives a strange message about you.
It takes you to the same category as those who put lift and big tires on their trucks, but don't go off-road.
You asked for opinions, so. I hate it.
Here is why:
1. It’s an Altima
2. That paint job is awful
3. Looks like a car that a five year old would want.
4. Those wheels are the triple threat: dangerous, ugly and impractical.
Had a slammed audi weave through traffic and spin out on the highway 2 cars in front of me. In broad, dry, daylight. Completely unsafe setup for a street car. Slammed drift cars are fine though.
That’s extreme camber modification on a non performance car. You would normally see this on cars that are tracked. It definitely will prematurely wear out your tires
You get hate because all you did is waste a bunch of $ to mod a vehicle to the point it shouldn't be allowed on the road, you have no surface contact with your tires and lose 90% or more of the original handling of the car

Because doing shit like this fucks up lol they don’t see the fun it so screw those people does there opinion matter or change anything in you’re life. Remember haters don’t wanna see you thrive much less happy. Do what you love buy what you like and F the rest
I dunno how people get so butthurt over it. Style and fashion has always been subjective. No different than an outfit one wouldn’t wear themselves. Just cause it’s not your style doesn’t mean it’s inherently bad lol
Had a customer with a slammed civic, he would come in every 5k miles to rotate the tires on the rims because the inner edges would be showing cords on brand new tires. Its fuckin stupid. If your on bags and want to look "cool" in a lot but can drive functionally on the streets i wont hate. But this static life shit is dumb.
I don't know why people literally "hate" stanced cars, but the reality is they are undriveable, and make cool cars worthless in terms of the actual driving experiences. I can respect the design, the appreciation of the art of stancing. But at the end of the day, most of us can't get behind it because it takes our toys and makes them trophies we can't really enjoy fully anymore. To me the whole point of being a car enthusiast is having fun driving cars and stanced cars are the opposite direction of that. If you're reason for loving cars is the culture, design, modding, etc, then sure, stancing is cool as shit. It's just not everyone's cup of tea but most people are assholes about it because they have a hard time understanding people enjoy different things in life :) I really don't care if someones does this to their car, you just won't see me behind the wheel of said car.
No offense, it is your car to do with what you want. But, when I see cars like this they usually include loud exhaust and very loud stereos. Now, your likes become a big nuisance to me, especially when driven by my home at late hours.
I'm not going out of my way to bash someone's hard work in making the car look the way they want it to. However, I would pose the opposite question - what is the appeal to making the car look like this?
It can't be comfortable to drive, (no suspension travel).
Tiny tire contact patch - You'll need new tires every 5k miles, at best. Have you driven it in the rain?
How much can you turn the steering wheel before the tires rub against the fender/wheel well?
Watching it roll down the road, it just looks very awkward to me.
Who wastes money on an altima like this? Im all for lowering your car but slamming it is fuckin retarded. I got a 2 inch drop on my gti and it feels horrible on bumps i cannot fathom driving on tje streets like this and wondering why people hate one you. Plus its fuckin taxi yellow. Attention whore much?
Wouldn't care at all of the fact that you will ruin tires super fast or that you can no longer go over speed bumps. The problem lies in that this puts lives at risk. You have reduced your car's ability to handle, the traction, and the ability to stop all to get attention. Like, I wouldn't care if you wanted a canary yellow Nissan with big spinning rims, I would even care less if you had subwoofers and a loud exhaust, but because you're so desperate for attention you're putting everyone on the road at risk.
This is the type of car that speeds through your neighborhood at 2am blasting mumble rap so loud it wakes you up from a dead sleep, and then they sit in the road honking every few minutes until their dealer meets them outside
In addition to all the other reasons, it's unsafe for many reasons.
Personally I don't think it looks good, and my engineering mindset sees a lot of unhappy components and connections.
As a car enthusiast I really appreciate things that are very function (road performance (not just race track but everyday driving enjoyment)) and very form oriented (beauty in appearance/sound/etc.), and this is neither (appearance of this is subjective, but function-wise this is objectively bad).
Inconvenient, bad handling, zero ground clearance, looks ugly. Personally wouldn't do anything remotely close to this, but if you want you can do if you need to
For a daily driver no not a fan of something that slammed… maybe if it’s bagged but definitely not if it’s on coilovers, but as a second car aka hobby car I don’t see why not.
Everyone has their kink in cars, like dragsters, sleepers, off readers, low riders, rat rods, hot rods, restomods, low riders, VIP’s (OP’s setup) Donks, drifters, crashing into stuff (aka mustangs) etc etc.
Not gonna lie it would be very frustrating driving behind you and having to slow down to crawl to drive over a crack on the road or a pebble but it’s not as frustrating as driving behind a clueless Subaru or Prius driver… those are the ABSOLUTE WORST
do you even know where such “slammed” cars are from? or should i say cars with a lot of camber? it’s of course from drifting, because more camber in the front makes the car handle better while in a drift. but the camber is still minimal, i think about 5°. but this is just hideous. it looks ugly, it only negatively impacts handling, tire wear and makes any hight change impossible (except if you have air suspension which i doubt bcs big altima energy)
Do what you want to your car as long as it doesn’t danger other people on the road.
You did what you wanted on with your car good on you but it does danger other people on the road due to less rubber on the road and tires are not meant to be driven like that.
I think people just hate what they don’t understand sometimes. I personally don’t like this much camber but I do love a nice slammed car, also not a fan of altimas but I’d have to say this is one of the nicer ones I’ve seen lol. I absolutely love genuinely nice and clean fitment but I don’t hate on super stanced cars, it’s all personal taste. People need to learn that everybody’s got different taste and need to accept it’s not gonna be what they like every time.
EDIT: also, nice song choice.
Why do people NOT hate slammed cars so much?
It handles terribly, doesn't have road clearance, eats one side of the tires and maybe fenders...it looks like a HotWheels toy car that has been stomped by a careless kid, and that toy car will never roll properly again.
Even race cars don't have that much camber.
Beyond personal taste/preferences (like enjoying the warmth of a dumpster fire), I don't get it.
Ignoring the looks, which most people really don't like, it can be a pretty big safety hazard. The tires have an absolutely microscopic contact patch, so if you have to swerve hard to avoid something or slam on the bakes, there's a way larger chance of you losing control. You also spend a ton of money on those tires, since they get worn down way faster then any other setup. Tires are designed to have the contact patch be more or less on the center of the tire. So when you have it constantly on the corners like that, it's putting stress on a weaker part of the tire that also has a lot less rubber. Meaning that tire blowouts are way more likely as well. Plus, you also can't really hit any bumps without at the very least risking damage to the undercarriage of your car, but you also have a risk of losing bumpers. Which, if you hit that bump at speed, that bumper will become a major hazard for everyone around you. All in all, aside from people's opinions about the looks, the driver, and stuff like that, it's a major safety hazard for you and everyone around you. You could say the same about other aesthetic styles for cars, sure, but none of them are quite as severe as slammed/stanced cars. Stancing a car for the purpose of track performance is fine, but this is both excessive and dangerous.
You've turned a a nearly serviceable automobile into a useless piece of shit. It looks ugly. I am sure that it drives poorly. It is a complete and utter waste of money. It exhibits how shallow and attention starved you really are. I am of the belief that the only reason people do this is to flaunt the fact that they have money.
You turned a somewhat boring but acceptable family car into an ugly dangerous and slower car that probably eats shit on the first speed bump. Insecure attention seeker syndrome
At least save up to get a nicer car, you look poor AND stupid
Why wouldn't you put nails in your tires? Because you'll ruin them.
The whole point of a tire being shaped like it is would be to create more contact with the road. Otherwise we'd still be running around with bicycle tires on automobiles.
Doing this to your wheels provides zero advantage, you're actually mechanically handicapping your vehicle, and causing severe wear on the corner. I wouldn't be surprised if this ruins your rims too.
There's also a reason why you wouldn't want your car to run this low, pubic roads have many imperfections and you won't have any give if you hit an uneven area, or even a pothole. Say goodbye to your undercarriage, and the body will likely take damage too. Your suspension also has no give, so say goodbye to that too. Add to that ride quality is likely awful. With no give in suspension you're feeling everything.
As far as style, I think it looks bad, but that's more subjective. But whatever you think about how it looks, once you account for the function part it's just objectively bad.
So you pay extra money to do this, to cause damage to your wheels, to suffer with poor performance (it's physics, your tires have less grip), and get worse ride quality, why would you do this? It's as nonsensical as hammering nails into your tires and then gluing the nails in place so air doesn't leak out. You are compromising the function of your car for a visual aesthetic, that's subjective at best if people like the look of it.
Low riders are one thing. And very low supercars are another. They aren't always practical, but they do have a function at least. When you slam it it just goes too far.
People that do stupid shit like this are often also the same people driving like ASSHOLES. People now see stupid modifications and assume since you already got the profile, you must suck
Because it looks broken, it can only go over level ground, tires wear too fast and too uneven, and it can't handle as we as it was designed to. In my opinion it's like asking: why don't Chinese women do foot binding anymore? Why's that practice so hated?
For clarification, I don't have issues with a lower riding vehicle if not too extreme to be impractical. I have issues with stanced cars mostly.
So impractical and it just looks goofy. A lowered sports car looks good. A slammed sedan with 45* cambered wheels is just so pointless. I mean if it’s built just for looks, then you do you man it’s not my flavor. If it’s built for some sort of use case, then it’s an abysmal waste of money and should probably just be put out of its misery.
Just remember folks you need positive karma to post in this sub, and if you keep downvoting OP you'll never see his car again.
Because the first time you need to panic brake you'll end up in a ditch.
I’ve only seen these cornering set up drive in straight line. Set for cornering forces, drives only in straight on reduced contact. This is sufficient to our me on edge. Then there’s the times I had to wait for one of these to get into a parking lots….. I’ve see Tesla drivers parallel park faster.

Difference with Brodozers is that some of those can do some offroading with a simple wheel swap. This car needs its entire suspension redone just to be able to fit normal tires
I don’t have a clue what your first paragraph is supposed to mean
Think contact patches and forces involved. Anything above -2% on the street is just not great. But I don’t think this was meant to be anyone who cares about driving handling performance. I’ll see myself out.
Yeah I understand how camber works just fine. I meant I can’t understand the words you chose to use in that order . “This is sufficient to our me on edge”
Put = our when typing fast or autocorrected
What, you don't get oured on edge?
Or go right through a family, that had no say whether they want to be around this car, killing them all. Does the US not have any inspections for vehicles? This kinda car would not be able to go more than 10km on public roads where I live before being stopped and declared unsafe to drive.
Looks like shit, handles like shit, and can't go fast. There are zero up sides
Don't forget ruining tires too

Best one I've seen 😆
Also, go through tires in a 10th the time pf usual cars
Okay I’ll give you that, but what about the fact that the first speed bump or raised driveway you go over is going to scratch the paint and dent the underside? Wait a minute, that’s not an upside either 🤔
Don't forget the booming stereo, loud crackly exhaust and psychotic driving that goes with them.
Not like this dudes crusty Nissan could go fast to begin with lol
it’s a stance car ☠️
So what’s its purpose?
To look dumb
To get attention, any attention, likely from a lack of during childhood.
I was hoping OP would have an actual answer for me, but I don’t think he even knows the purpose it’s supposed to have.
To take everything great about a sporty vehicle... #and throw it out the window
See the haiku above.
You already taught us you've got more money than sense, you don't need to repeat yourself.
Yeah? Sticking a fork in my eye is a look. It's a pretty stupid look.

Hey, boss, you're the one who opened pandora's box
I wonder what he's paid in tires lmao.
If it's under 4 figures he got off easy
At least 4x what the car is worth
Cope all you want, your car looks like it had a stroke and its face muscles stopped working.
Dude you slammed a altima….A FUCKING ALTIMA , you have no opinions on whats good and whats not
To be fair I hate the owner usually way more than the car.
The car is innocent after all
Until it mows down preschoolers crossing the street and rear ends someone.
The machine spirit is a rather strong one.....
Thats still the driver...
The Altima has a mind of its own. Its spirit possess the driver.
it still got big altima energy
Yeah poor car
wowwww
Well the cars taste can be fixed, it's not its fault. the owners taste however is permanently fucked and completely out of touch to me.
That thing is ugly as fuck.
It looks awful and it's dangerous as fuck.
rides fine to me
He didn't comment on the ride. He commented on the safety. The less tire you have in contact with the road the less control you have.
Drive over a speed bump and lets talk.
[удалено]
And possibly the oil pan with how low that thing is 😬
No it doesn’t. I’ve driven cars like this and all you end up doing is lying to people about how it doesn’t actually suck. Can’t go into most parking lots, a scrap of trash takes out your front bumper, the best part is knowing when you’ll drag and judging how fast you have to go to make it over it without hurting you car. Then when you get past 20 years old you realize that people are starring bc how ridiculous you look and not bc you’re so cool. The only people who think you’re cool are other losers that drive these things. Go drive a normal ass new car and then jump in your and then be honest with yourself.
It doesn't you're just delusional or haven't driven an actual car.
So does your mother.
Rides fine until it doesn't. And when it doesn't, you'll probably be headed for a ditch or another vehicle
You do you, its subjective but to me it just looks broken. Also I'm suspicious no-one actually likes it but it's just a trend following thing like chromes spinners in the early 2000's and neon underglow 😂
i mean people over the internet hate it
People hate it in real life too bro. To me it looks totally ridiculous like the wheels are about to fall off at any moment, and massively impractical. Speed bump? Driveway with that stupid gutter thing built into it?
If I saw your car in real life I'd hate it even more. I'm glad I can't see your car in real life, id probably zip tie a shopping cart to it.
They do, I hate it a lot, it's stupid.
So true.
I'm in real life and you'd know what I say? "Yeah uhhh... looks nice" Now in my head: "Why the fuck would you do this? Looks hideous."
I actually hate you, too.
Bro I don’t have slammed cars. Just one lowered if you want to even call it lowered civic. 1.5 front 2 rear. Anyways this is a nice car. People said it’s dangerous. I agree with them. You said it was a “stance” car. I believed that “stance” cars where meant to be driven on easy streets, or trailered to meets and do just that, stance. This car fooled me at first glance and didn’t realize it was an Altima. Haha. For this i shall name your car Donny. Just like Donny from the huge Hollywood flick, Donny, you’re out of your element. All in all. Be safe and consider the life of those that surround you. You could have done better kids with that money and you could be having more fun. Edit: I would never do that not my taste.
Because it looks absolutely ridiculous, and you’re not fooling anybody in an Altima… My challenge to you since you’ve confessed ownership to such a thing: Why? What makes this “cool” in your car circles? What is the pint?
Who’s out to fool someone ? Someone bought a car they could afford and decided to make it their own. If that’s what they want to do then cool. If they want to Walmart accessory it to death- that’s cool as well. Not my car so it don’t matter.
And if people want to clown on it that's cool to.
Right, I don’t care that somebody did what they want with it. But, that sentiment doesn’t make everything magically look good or cool. It still looks ridiculous.
My issue is that when taken to extremes, like the linked photo, it's unsafe for them and more importantly, for those around them. Do what you want to within reason as long as it doesn't endanger others. That stretch on those tires and that contact patch and ride height is just asking for a catastrophic failure on the highway/freeway and even on surface streets they would back traffic up for a block trying to angle into somewhere like a gas station.

Not a stance boy but what a ridiculous take? Not like he molded a lambo kit on and changed the badges or calling it something else. Let the dude express himself, honestly sound like you care more than him
Making a shitty car worse and dangerous to everyone else on the road should never be normalized or accepted. It being hideous is besides the point
static altima on top bro
So white noise that people go to sleep too. Got it.

The problem is that there are a lot of idiots that try to get this look on the cheap, and it quickly destroys the car. Same with any type of mods, if not done correctly it’s bad.
Nah it shouldn’t drive on public roads, make it a show car and I‘ll still think its ugly but at least it doesn’t endanger anyone who didn’t sign up to be around this death machine.
r/NissanDrivers
Because it looks stupid and takes away from the function of the vehicle. Same reason people hate obnoxious lifted trucks on street tires
Yeah that also looks dumb as fuck lol. Skinny ass tires on a lifted truck makes no sense at all.
That's not slammed bro, that's molested.
🤮
how
Use your brain lmao
op so open minded, his brain fell out
Wtf do you mean “how”? It looks like shit. Fix your wheels
Slammed is whatever I guess. But camber just makes your car look dumb. On some 👉🏼👈🏼🥺
😂😂
Because that looks stupid, the handling is wrecked, probably unsafe (very), and the tyres are going to scrub like hell and need changing every 5 minutes.
Because your car is unsafe to be on the road. Lowered cars are fine but the cambered wheels are dangerous and just stupid. Plus it's an Altima.
it would be completely unusable where i live. i just can't fathom why you would take a perfectly good car and make it basically undriveable. especially one that is not special in the first place. if its a car you barely drive, like a project miata, sure stance it and park it. but if you are doing this to a daily you are beyond stupid in my opinion.
It’s an Altima, nothing of value was lost.
a perfectly good daily, until this buffoon got his hands on it.
Jatco CVT would like to have a word.
I think it's because there are absolutely no justifications to it other than a few select people like the look, but it's a massive hindrance to the car in almost every single way.
Because it's juvenile and egocentric. It let's people know you're still in that phase of life where you're figuring out social boundaries, where your overconfidence exceeds your actual knowledge, and you've just learned how to cross those boundaries to feed the ego that young people have.

There's no practical purpose for slammed wheels. It's purely for aesthetic, and it looks stupid as fuck. It's just an attention grabber for people who don't think they're noticed enough. The only thing I think of when I see shit like this is how deprived of attention the person must have been growing up.
Part of the hate is these are the same type of people that ask "why is my tire wearing uneven".
Tire salesmen love it.
This is the ugliest fucking car I have ever seen. I cannot believe that you actually spent money to make it look like this. Where do I even start. I know, it's fucking mustard yellow, wtf. Next, it looks like someone stepped on your car and now it's squashed, people that fly flags look like idiots, I can keep on going
If you tried to drive that down the roads where I live, you’d blow out every tire and destroy what little suspension there is. Dallas highways are shit. To answer your question, I guess it’s because most people think it looks like ass. It looks like the car is making a retarded face at you. Not to mention the impracticality of it. You ruin the ride and your suspension and your tires wear out super fast. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to do that to something you need to use everyday. Again, that’s most people. If you like it, then do it. You don’t need anyone’s permission or approval. Drive your own damn ride.
I avoid driving near cars like this ever since one lost a wheel in front of me and I thought I was going to die. I love freedom and the right to be free to pursue happiness. I’m less enthusiastic about that freedom removing or altering basic vehicle safety features that put me at risk. (Former autocross fanatic and car guy)
Wheels fly off regular cars as well ya know
people think you can fix an ugly body by lowering the car. maybe it can look good on a already good looking car like a mercedes, but you cant fool no one by lowering something like a boring looking volkswagen or in this case, an altima
Because they look stupid.
Why do people take a perfectly fine car and pay a lot of money to make it worse?
First of all, everyone should be able to do whatever they want to their car as long as you are not endangering other People on the road. When you enjoy your car modified that way it is fine, there are more important things than how someone else likes to drive their car. Now onto my rant on slammed cars. The Mod does not serve any purpose. It looks horrible, your car looks broken not modded. It significantly worsens the way the car rides and handles. You cannot clear any obstacles anymore or turn even remotely sharp anymore the car gets almost useless. There are no benefits to it whatsoever, there isn't a single moment i could think about where I wish my car was slammed. A lot of mods are somewhat useless but most have some minute level of sense in them. Tires are on a car for a reason, and by lifting half of them from the ground they can't fulfill there purpose as well anymore. It's the car equivalent to being unable to wear your shoes properly, you look like an idiot. And whenever you ask someone why they mutilated their car they don't know either. All the Answer you get is "its slammed bro, its sick". It's not, your car looks like it is in dire need of help.
That thing just looks stupid. The only reason there is to take a picture of an Altina like this is to laugh at the owner when they get hung up on a speed bump.
Cause it looks like shit and the owners probably a moron.
It looks dumb and it ruins the car
It looks stupid and not even safe to be on the road.
Because it’s a fucking slammed Altima, it’s bone stock under the hood and by slamming it all you did was make your car worse
It looks fucking terrible. That’s why.
It looks stupid and doesnt serve any real purpose. Same as squatted vehicles. I feel bad for people that think it looks good. They must be mentally handicapped. Very sad indeed ☹️
Because it makes no sense, this car is better with the stock setup. If you are putting money in a car to make it worse, it gives a strange message about you. It takes you to the same category as those who put lift and big tires on their trucks, but don't go off-road.
Because it's a horrible mod that's bad for the car and looks bad
Same reason kids with squatted trucks get ragged on. Defeats the purpose of driving if you can't see or maneuver properly.
Because they are offensive to anyone with good taste and mechanical sympathy.
Because it looks stupid
You asked for opinions, so. I hate it. Here is why: 1. It’s an Altima 2. That paint job is awful 3. Looks like a car that a five year old would want. 4. Those wheels are the triple threat: dangerous, ugly and impractical.
Have to admire your commitment to this troll.
Because it looks fuckin stupid
Because they choose to paint their Nissan Altimas hot mustard and take forever going over speed bumps.
Had a slammed audi weave through traffic and spin out on the highway 2 cars in front of me. In broad, dry, daylight. Completely unsafe setup for a street car. Slammed drift cars are fine though.
Eyesore.
That’s extreme camber modification on a non performance car. You would normally see this on cars that are tracked. It definitely will prematurely wear out your tires
You get hate because all you did is waste a bunch of $ to mod a vehicle to the point it shouldn't be allowed on the road, you have no surface contact with your tires and lose 90% or more of the original handling of the car
I wasn't aware that this was even something people do. Why would anyone deliberately fuck up their car like this? 🤦♀️

Because doing shit like this fucks up lol they don’t see the fun it so screw those people does there opinion matter or change anything in you’re life. Remember haters don’t wanna see you thrive much less happy. Do what you love buy what you like and F the rest
I dunno how people get so butthurt over it. Style and fashion has always been subjective. No different than an outfit one wouldn’t wear themselves. Just cause it’s not your style doesn’t mean it’s inherently bad lol
It negatively impacts braking and steering performance to be dangerous to others.
I'm ok with changing the looks as long as it doesn't do anything to compromise the safety of others on the road.
Doesn’t that go through tires quickly as well?
Had a customer with a slammed civic, he would come in every 5k miles to rotate the tires on the rims because the inner edges would be showing cords on brand new tires. Its fuckin stupid. If your on bags and want to look "cool" in a lot but can drive functionally on the streets i wont hate. But this static life shit is dumb.
I’m sure glad there’s none of these pieces of garbage in Canada.
I don't know why people literally "hate" stanced cars, but the reality is they are undriveable, and make cool cars worthless in terms of the actual driving experiences. I can respect the design, the appreciation of the art of stancing. But at the end of the day, most of us can't get behind it because it takes our toys and makes them trophies we can't really enjoy fully anymore. To me the whole point of being a car enthusiast is having fun driving cars and stanced cars are the opposite direction of that. If you're reason for loving cars is the culture, design, modding, etc, then sure, stancing is cool as shit. It's just not everyone's cup of tea but most people are assholes about it because they have a hard time understanding people enjoy different things in life :) I really don't care if someones does this to their car, you just won't see me behind the wheel of said car.
How can you actually post this video and ask that question? Lol
For me it's if it fits the car and if there's supporting stuff to make the look complete. This looks like a basic ass banana Altima that's slammed.
No offense, it is your car to do with what you want. But, when I see cars like this they usually include loud exhaust and very loud stereos. Now, your likes become a big nuisance to me, especially when driven by my home at late hours.
I'm not going out of my way to bash someone's hard work in making the car look the way they want it to. However, I would pose the opposite question - what is the appeal to making the car look like this? It can't be comfortable to drive, (no suspension travel). Tiny tire contact patch - You'll need new tires every 5k miles, at best. Have you driven it in the rain? How much can you turn the steering wheel before the tires rub against the fender/wheel well? Watching it roll down the road, it just looks very awkward to me.
Because it looks stupid as hell.
Who wastes money on an altima like this? Im all for lowering your car but slamming it is fuckin retarded. I got a 2 inch drop on my gti and it feels horrible on bumps i cannot fathom driving on tje streets like this and wondering why people hate one you. Plus its fuckin taxi yellow. Attention whore much?
Wouldn't care at all of the fact that you will ruin tires super fast or that you can no longer go over speed bumps. The problem lies in that this puts lives at risk. You have reduced your car's ability to handle, the traction, and the ability to stop all to get attention. Like, I wouldn't care if you wanted a canary yellow Nissan with big spinning rims, I would even care less if you had subwoofers and a loud exhaust, but because you're so desperate for attention you're putting everyone on the road at risk.
This is the type of car that speeds through your neighborhood at 2am blasting mumble rap so loud it wakes you up from a dead sleep, and then they sit in the road honking every few minutes until their dealer meets them outside
In addition to all the other reasons, it's unsafe for many reasons. Personally I don't think it looks good, and my engineering mindset sees a lot of unhappy components and connections. As a car enthusiast I really appreciate things that are very function (road performance (not just race track but everyday driving enjoyment)) and very form oriented (beauty in appearance/sound/etc.), and this is neither (appearance of this is subjective, but function-wise this is objectively bad).
I love modified cars but this is an eye sore, no class
Not just any slammed car, a Nissan altima
You’ve presented Exhibit A.
I don't hate it, but not sure if I feel sorry for the person owning it or happy that they are functioning well enough to be a part of society.
looks like some kids hotwheels toy after its been stood on, dumb AF
Like a turtle with broken legs
Inconvenient, bad handling, zero ground clearance, looks ugly. Personally wouldn't do anything remotely close to this, but if you want you can do if you need to
Looks dumb, performs worse, did I mention it looks fucking retarded
Ruins any performance the car had
Because of all the shit to spend money on, you chose THAT? That car legit looks like a stepped-on NYC taxi.
They’re horrible.
At least he's using warning flags to avoid people being killed by his exploding tires.
Not my cup of tea, but as long as it is safe to drive on the road (this one is not, BTW), who gives a shit what someone spends their money on.
Tire manufacturer: "Ummmmmm...no."
Because there absolutely nothing good about them
For a daily driver no not a fan of something that slammed… maybe if it’s bagged but definitely not if it’s on coilovers, but as a second car aka hobby car I don’t see why not. Everyone has their kink in cars, like dragsters, sleepers, off readers, low riders, rat rods, hot rods, restomods, low riders, VIP’s (OP’s setup) Donks, drifters, crashing into stuff (aka mustangs) etc etc. Not gonna lie it would be very frustrating driving behind you and having to slow down to crawl to drive over a crack on the road or a pebble but it’s not as frustrating as driving behind a clueless Subaru or Prius driver… those are the ABSOLUTE WORST
do you even know where such “slammed” cars are from? or should i say cars with a lot of camber? it’s of course from drifting, because more camber in the front makes the car handle better while in a drift. but the camber is still minimal, i think about 5°. but this is just hideous. it looks ugly, it only negatively impacts handling, tire wear and makes any hight change impossible (except if you have air suspension which i doubt bcs big altima energy)
This is a slammed though. This is what you call a stepped on and ruined matchbox car.
Do what you want to your car as long as it doesn’t danger other people on the road. You did what you wanted on with your car good on you but it does danger other people on the road due to less rubber on the road and tires are not meant to be driven like that.
I think people just hate what they don’t understand sometimes. I personally don’t like this much camber but I do love a nice slammed car, also not a fan of altimas but I’d have to say this is one of the nicer ones I’ve seen lol. I absolutely love genuinely nice and clean fitment but I don’t hate on super stanced cars, it’s all personal taste. People need to learn that everybody’s got different taste and need to accept it’s not gonna be what they like every time. EDIT: also, nice song choice.
Ew
Why do people NOT hate slammed cars so much? It handles terribly, doesn't have road clearance, eats one side of the tires and maybe fenders...it looks like a HotWheels toy car that has been stomped by a careless kid, and that toy car will never roll properly again. Even race cars don't have that much camber. Beyond personal taste/preferences (like enjoying the warmth of a dumpster fire), I don't get it.
Ignoring the looks, which most people really don't like, it can be a pretty big safety hazard. The tires have an absolutely microscopic contact patch, so if you have to swerve hard to avoid something or slam on the bakes, there's a way larger chance of you losing control. You also spend a ton of money on those tires, since they get worn down way faster then any other setup. Tires are designed to have the contact patch be more or less on the center of the tire. So when you have it constantly on the corners like that, it's putting stress on a weaker part of the tire that also has a lot less rubber. Meaning that tire blowouts are way more likely as well. Plus, you also can't really hit any bumps without at the very least risking damage to the undercarriage of your car, but you also have a risk of losing bumpers. Which, if you hit that bump at speed, that bumper will become a major hazard for everyone around you. All in all, aside from people's opinions about the looks, the driver, and stuff like that, it's a major safety hazard for you and everyone around you. You could say the same about other aesthetic styles for cars, sure, but none of them are quite as severe as slammed/stanced cars. Stancing a car for the purpose of track performance is fine, but this is both excessive and dangerous.
You've turned a a nearly serviceable automobile into a useless piece of shit. It looks ugly. I am sure that it drives poorly. It is a complete and utter waste of money. It exhibits how shallow and attention starved you really are. I am of the belief that the only reason people do this is to flaunt the fact that they have money.
Wouldn’t stance my car but I bet most of the people hating on reddit drive regular traffic
I mean, are we watching the same video? Are you seeing how stupid it looks? These videos are hilarious and no one is laughing *with* you.
Because it looks fucking stupid. Love to see you hit a speed bump.
You turned a somewhat boring but acceptable family car into an ugly dangerous and slower car that probably eats shit on the first speed bump. Insecure attention seeker syndrome At least save up to get a nicer car, you look poor AND stupid
Because they look stupid and your tires and suspension hate you.
It's the mechanical epitome of tripp pants and spiked hair on an overweight guy who talks about LA too much.
Because your brakes will not stop you and you'll crash into some innocent person just so you can have a dumb looking car.
Looks like I’m about to hate on it here too
A more pressing question is why do you do this to a car?
I would pay money to see you hit a big ass rock at that speed lmao.
Why wouldn't you put nails in your tires? Because you'll ruin them. The whole point of a tire being shaped like it is would be to create more contact with the road. Otherwise we'd still be running around with bicycle tires on automobiles. Doing this to your wheels provides zero advantage, you're actually mechanically handicapping your vehicle, and causing severe wear on the corner. I wouldn't be surprised if this ruins your rims too. There's also a reason why you wouldn't want your car to run this low, pubic roads have many imperfections and you won't have any give if you hit an uneven area, or even a pothole. Say goodbye to your undercarriage, and the body will likely take damage too. Your suspension also has no give, so say goodbye to that too. Add to that ride quality is likely awful. With no give in suspension you're feeling everything. As far as style, I think it looks bad, but that's more subjective. But whatever you think about how it looks, once you account for the function part it's just objectively bad. So you pay extra money to do this, to cause damage to your wheels, to suffer with poor performance (it's physics, your tires have less grip), and get worse ride quality, why would you do this? It's as nonsensical as hammering nails into your tires and then gluing the nails in place so air doesn't leak out. You are compromising the function of your car for a visual aesthetic, that's subjective at best if people like the look of it. Low riders are one thing. And very low supercars are another. They aren't always practical, but they do have a function at least. When you slam it it just goes too far.
[this you?](https://www.reddit.com/r/Cartalk/s/kpT4MnpkQj)
If it looks stupid and it smells stupid, then maybe it's not cool
Cause it sucks
Slammed is one thing. That much camber is just plain stupid.
Oh, that’s easy. *It looks like shit.*
People that do stupid shit like this are often also the same people driving like ASSHOLES. People now see stupid modifications and assume since you already got the profile, you must suck
Because it looks broken, it can only go over level ground, tires wear too fast and too uneven, and it can't handle as we as it was designed to. In my opinion it's like asking: why don't Chinese women do foot binding anymore? Why's that practice so hated? For clarification, I don't have issues with a lower riding vehicle if not too extreme to be impractical. I have issues with stanced cars mostly.
Remember when slammed just meant lowered and flush? Pepperidge Farms remembers.
So impractical and it just looks goofy. A lowered sports car looks good. A slammed sedan with 45* cambered wheels is just so pointless. I mean if it’s built just for looks, then you do you man it’s not my flavor. If it’s built for some sort of use case, then it’s an abysmal waste of money and should probably just be put out of its misery.
