Slammed my kaa. *Now with bettAr pics bish!*
No pics yet. I took a few but only one of my car which didn't come out right.
In a nutshell... the front of the car just about as no gap although one side... can't remember which, has a small gap, but will fix that tomorrow. The rear is quite tucked and with my camber kit there's like a 1-2CM gap literally at the top so it doesn't hit the fender lip.
I'm still debating on how I should do this. I'm gonna lower the front a bit more so there's no gap on either side - the front's kew. Doesn't hit the wheel well and the car oversteers more with less front body roll - and more oversteer = faster lane changes.
Oh... and it scrapes MAD EASY, y0! 
The rear however - I'm starting to dislike how uneven the ride height looks (drove to Danville with the car looking like this and saw Ant). It feels kinda fun with the rear of the car dropped lower... leaning back in your seat that was already tilted back makes you feel like you're ridin some big old car out the 70s/80s. At any rate, I think I'm gonna raise it because it also makes the rear tires look fat from an angle. (Probably should've went 205/50... but nah.) I think I'm gonna make the rear as low as I can without eating the tire... kinda like the front is.
I'll post a pic of it's current state tomorrow. As well as before/after pics.
Oh yeah, Andrew & Steve, remember the sound we heard from the left of my car? Well... I checked the bolts to the strut tower and they weren't tightened! Tightening them fixed that sound. And Steve - I'm pretty sure the sound you heard was my rear right coil spring creaking? At least that's what I always hear from the rear especially when I'm in the backseat. Just gotta lube it with WD-40 or somethin.
EDIT: Pics on page 2 or... better pics here.

Rep Power: 0 Yes, I wasn't trying to hide that fact. I just wanted a pic of how low the muffler was coming up. If it was that low driving, I believe there'd be sparks every time the springs had to compress.

The only thing you can make out is how low the rear is since my front wheel is turned. The entire car looks like a baby Accord from the flash. Will wait till the sun comes up.
Baby Accord.

Rep Power: 0 This is the rear. Unfortunately I curbed my tire this early afternoon. It's all good... 205/55-15 = no rim curbage. Cleaning the tire will fix it though. Too bad I'm broke.

Rep Power: 0 This is the front. It LOOKS like there is a gap but there isn't only because it's shadowed under there. It's actually a lil' tucked. Because of the more positive camber I got on the rear driver's side it looks more noticable and I should probably do the same to the other side. I have to check again, the driver's side might be a bit lower. Bleh. Anyway.

Rep Power: 0 I haven't washed my car since last Friday, y0! But yeah, the car needs to be washed and it's not reflecting as much as it deserves. Needs to be polished and waxed - will do that once I get my hands on some car wash.
