Forget performance, forget handling – stance is about nothing else but how your car sits. In this world, looks are everything – but while the concept is pretty simple, achieving the desired effect is far from it!
In reality, there is a difference between simply slamming your car into the weeds and nailing that rather fashionable stanced look. Those in the know see realising an exceptional stance as a bona fide automotive art form, and there’s many Instagram accounts that showcase these haters of speed bumps and gods of the magical drop.
Here’s our top 13 Insta accounts that delve deeply into the world of stance culture…
StanceNation
USA – 3.8 million followers
Arguably the biggest and most renowned of these types of Instagram accounts, StanceNation celebrates its eighth year in 2018 and has arguably become THE hub for the stance-loving modified car community. Focusing on premium photography and an eclectic mix of cars, their ethos comes from sharing fan submissions daily on all of their thriving social media platforms. They also offer scene-friendly merchandise, show coverage and full car features on their website.
CamberGang
USA – 245K followers
With a penchant for the more extreme look centred around dialing in huge amounts of negative camber, the guys at CamberGang are another multi-marque collective that focuses on sharing stanced car photographs from their many fans. They also invest their time in creating premium video footage and merchandise, as well as developing an international team of ‘members’ who act as ambassadors for the brand. A bottomless pit of automotive mentalism!
SlammedEnuff
USA – 796K followers
From humble beginnings, SlammedEnuff has become a global brand (albeit for a niche part of car culture), that generates its own photography and feature content to be shared on its immensely popular website and social media platforms. It’s also home to a diverse shop which not only sells its own branded merchandise, but also acts as a supplier for many show-friendly car parts, such as steering wheels and wheel nuts.
Stance Daily
UK – 829K followers
This London-based community showcases both stanced and show cars with more of a focus on what’s going on in the UK. Stance Daily also runs a popular YouTube channel, with reviews and features on stance cars and shows across the country, as well as an online shop that continues to grow at an exponential rate.
HellaFresh
USA – 698K followers
This lifestyle blog is famous for sharing the very best cars from around the world that focus on the ‘HellaFlush’ look. In fact, HellaFresh has become so popular on the scene in recent times that the word itself is often used as an alternative to HellaFlush; one, as they say, has become synonymous with the other. They also host an online shop dedicated to stickers and key car parts relevant to the HellaFlush community.
StanceWorks
USA – 489K followers
StanceWorks isn’t just a popular Instagram account – it’s now one of America’s key stance car lifestyle brands. It also boasts its own team of world-class photographers dedicated to telling the stories of many of the world’s most immaculately modified cars, both old and new.
As well as contemporary show cars, what makes them unique is that they celebrate the art of stance through the likes of off-roading, motorsport and automotive adventures too. Their merchandise shop contains unique clothing and accessories under their ‘Lowly Gentlemen’ sub-brand.
Lowered Lifestyle
USA – 600K followers
What started off as a small sharing account for the stance community now takes things a few steps further by selling essential parts like suspension kits and alloy wheels directly. Much of Lowered Lifestyle's content stems from their customers’ cars nowadays, although they also have a team of photographers covering shows and shooting feature cars from all around the world.
RoyalStance
USA – 253K followers
It has been argued – many times in fact – that the community involved in RoyalStance are some of the most passionate creative types you’re likely to follow on any social media platform. And while that may be something that’s up for debate, this notion certainly seems to reflect in their (largely self-created) content. Established in 2011, RoyalStance is also one of the more esteemed wheel and air suspension suppliers in the US.
SlammedUK
UK – 90K followers
Top car culture brand SlammedUK has gained huge popularity in the UK due to their presence at just about every event on the European scene, and the fact that they also host their own event, Gravity, which is strictly an invite-only affair. Dedicated to celebrating a broad range of lowered cars from throughout the ages, their team also creates unique updates centred around their experiences of owning and modifying their personal projects. They also have some of the most sought-after branded merchandise on the UK market.
I Love Bass
UK – 83K followers
In 2010, a group of 16 creatives came together to develop a platform to show off some of the best street and show cars in the UK and beyond. I Love Bass was born and began to storm the web. A more recent re-brand to the ILB Drivers Club is only part of the evolution of one of the UK’s most popular online communities. They now host a dedicated show in Northern Ireland, as well as a beloved YouTube channel and comprehensive photo library.
RollHard
UK – 82K followers
There’s just one ethos when it comes to RollHard – if it looks cool, it is cool. And that’s certainly an idea that’s alright with us! Another huge community founded in 2010, this one is open to any marque and model of any age. Their website offers a blog dedicated to some of the world’s craziest stanced creations, focusing on premium photography and majestic storytelling. RollHard also has its own popular UK event where owners are invited to display their stanced projects – and the word is, it’s quite the honour to be asked along…
Strictly Static
UK – 133K followers
With active suspension systems becoming a majority shareholder in the world stance scene, Strictly Static is something of a backlash, focusing as it does on cars which rely on more hardcore static systems (like coilovers), for the entirety of its content.
That said, the popularity of air ride and the like hasn’t taken anything away from their thriving community, which features some of the world’s finest events and expertly ‘static-dropped’ motors.
TUCKED Automotive
UK – 29K followers
TUCKED Automotive, the ever-growing UK-based brand, is dedicated to absolutely any vehicle that’s running seriously low, their self-professed philosophy being ‘low rides and chilled-out vibes’.
Event coverage and single car features are their priority when it comes to Instagram content, although, here in the real world, they also arrange meets throughout the year for the like-minded slammed and stance communities. Their web shop offers a huge range of branded apparel and stickers for those stance fans who want to pledge their allegiance.
