Falken make a 195/45/14 if you were looking for something local, instead of 185/60.

I can't claim to be slammed either ... I'd go lower but I already scrape my exhaust going in and out of the driveway. ^_^

Detail - Tein S-Tech Springs (theoretical 35mm fr drop, 20mm rear drop). I haven't measured the drop yet as i'm giving the springs time to settle. I will post before and after measuremenst in a couple of weeks. I installed Whiteline fr and rr adjustable swaybars at the same time.
