Default Tanabe Sustec Pro 5, will it tuck in the rear?

I am very close to purchasing the Tanabe Sustec Pro 5, but I just wanted to know if it will tuck in the back and will leave 0 finger gap in the front. I have 19's with 265/35 Rear and 235/30 F. the look im going for is a tuck in the rear and front i want no finger gap. thx

Anyone with experience please post your experience followed by your opinion =D thank you very much.

i'm tucked in the rear and no finger gap in the front and thats on stock 18"...don't forget to set it at 6 for the front and at 5 for the rear on your rebounds also get the teas unit while your at it.

here's a picture of my car after a month of installing the tanabes...
