Well, I like my lookers lowered in the rear...   But I can understand this cartoon style also...
As long as it fills the wheel arches I'm game!

Like your 1303?

I know that heaving a swing axle car you can't go to low because the wheels will gain to much negative camber during launch but... on the other hand, Bugs with positive camber handle so awfully. I know that some will say that cal-looker does not need to handle, but I love to drive my cars and it sucks when you have to almost stop before corners. It makes you slow everywhere except for the strip and cal-look cars are supposed to be street cars, aren't they? Wink

So you need to find a balance (or convert to IRS Cheesy ) and some of the Bugs above represent what I call an "exaggerated stance". Cool for looks (for some people), but almost certainly uncool to drive. To each his own.

Swing axle all the way, but given a stance to able to handle the twisty stuff too...

Yep, I like cars that have zero camber in the back, or maybe just a slight touch of negative.
