I just ordered kw variant coilovers, still waiting for them to come in... only have springs now.. but since you like to question everyone about wheel gap..
in all honesty, its because we aren't as gangsta as you dawg.

they liked the cars, but honestly a few of them didnt know what they were talking about. All they do is the exterior design / styling / art of the car.

Some people actually need the everyday practicality of a car. The point is to go from point A to point B without having to worry about damaging your car. In my opinion, slamming a car is only useful for two things. You track your car, or it's a show car. For everyday driving, maneuvering a car that's 3 inches off the ground (your definition of no wheel gap), without damaging your car on speed bumps etc is nearly impossible.
Second, with the setup I have now, eliminating wheel gap would undoubtedly cause excessive tire wear due to the negative camber. I don't know about you, but I'm not too fond about spending 500-600 dollars on rear tires every two to three months. True, we don't drive honda civics, but there is a fine line between modifiying your car with some sort of purpose, and stupidity.
That's just my two cents though. My car is low enough as it is...for my personal taste. My gap in the rear is actually less then what it appears in the picture. I have less then one fingergap. Now if that's too much for you, I understand...not everybody can have 1mm gap and 19x100 rear wheels with 245 tires in the rear like you

word, there is hardly any wheel gap as is too.. kind of a douchenozzle thing to point it out when it's not even an issue.
