LOL, what may look good sitting still may be quite painfull whilst driving, no, I will go as far as saying what looks like it would handle bad and be a PITA to drive on a street, would infact handle bad and be a PITA on the street.

Wide wheels with low offset

Narrow tyres

Low coilovers

Rolled guards

Aquire these things and you will have the stance you are after

A standard R33 will handle better though, especially on surfaces with bumps (ie everywhere)

The question was where do I get stance, which should have been how do I get stance, not what are everyone's opinions on how stance affects the handling of a car or relevant legalities. My 2c anyway.....epic defects,handling may or may not go out the window and as mentioned above, camber+low offset wheels + rolled and/or pumped guards+ stiff coilies.

Having said all that I'm still chasing some nice fitment:) I know how it affects my car and the consequences mechanically and legally, but I want it and will work around what I have to to get it

You have your answered your own question.

in the old days they would put sand bags in the car to lower it, you should try that.

the only problem i see is it might sink your r33....

Handling may or may not go out the window?

There's no question about it, handling WILL be out the window.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
