Good grief! Slammed doesn't even begin to describe how low that is! What did you do in the back to get it that low? Do you have problems with speed bumps ( or big pieces of gravel 
)?
I saw the tire rack prices...don't forget to add another $9 or so per tire for shipping. Discount Tire Direct ships for free but has higher prices so both places work out about the same. Gee what a surprise! Still pretty good prices for good quality tires.

ya, im really surprised how cheap tires are now on the internet, i got my ziex for wholesale cause i bought them through my friends dealership, which was 49 bucks each, and i just saw them for 49 on tirerack or some place. i wont feel so bad "wearing them in" now hahahaha.
front has 3 inner clicks, rear has 2 inner clicks. the car sits level, the rear just looks lower because of where the factory grated the rear fender wells. thats the good thing with the type 3, it came with full adjustable rideheight stock, no weld in adjustors or dropped spindles needed ( though technically, dropped spindles would be the way to go to keep suspension travel, but they dont make them for our car yet
.)
speedbumps, i dont go over them, period. haha, unless there are people behind me, then it just rubbs the towhook. the rear suspension is soft, so i ordered some 29mm torsion bars and i am looking for some better shocks right now to compliment them in the rear.
entrances, i have to pull in sideways etc.
driving a lowered car is just like learning to drive stick, you figure out all the secrets after a few days.
