iM Feature: Function vs Form – Part 1
Being slammed is the latest trend in the import tuner world, however, cars with a slammed stance tend to be impractical, especially on the roads we have in Calgary. Tuners have to choose between the sick look of a slammed ride and have trouble with their car scraping everywhere or settle for a less aggressive stance but be more practical.
We have here 2 cars in which their owners chose either function or form. On one side, we have Josh Sivadas’s lowered white Integra Type-R with Volk CE28n’s and on the other side we have Reggie Mah’s slammed Phoenix Yellow with Sportmax rims and tons of negative camber. One has no problem making it up the tiny ramp to get into this parking lot where we shot, the other had considerable trouble. However, both of these cars have some of the best parts available, ranging from Mugen to ARC. In parts two and three, we will take a more indepth look at each car, so stay tuned!
