You don't hit on the raised crosswalk things? If I'm going over 15 I catch bumper on the way back down them and my car isn't even "slammed."
I would have to say though, if your car isn't "slammed" it's really close.

I don't have either of those problems.

to me, if you cannot get over a speed bump without scrapping bottom, or into a slightly slopped driveway... then you car is "slammed"

those would come in quite handy at times I bet around my school shop. but not to many cars that come in that we can not get up on a lift though. or a jack under for that matter.

My friends car is lowered and whenever we need to jack it up one of us just lifts the car up as much as possible then the other slides the jack under. Theres a lot of play in the springs so you should be able to lift it up a good 3 inches or so.

Nope, I don't have any problems with the speed bumps on campus.

it was raised up about half an inch since that photo, but even if I rephotographed it now I don't think you'd see a difference in an image that small.
the whole "your car isn't slammed enough" thing was really a joke, there's a "post your slammed cars" thread on honda-tech and it's all people who don't care about performance at all, who laugh at cars that have any sort of ground clearance. it's silly.
I never thought I would have lowered my car this much, but that's where it ended up, and it's perfect for what I need: autocross in the summer, and staying in the garage all winter

i think that these tire jacks would work enough
i know they should have cheaper ones somewhere....
but not sure how high they go either.....

when ever i bag my civic i want to have one of those.....
that way if i have a flat tire... instead of driving on my rim jacken them up even worse.... if it was on the rear i could simply lift the tire up off the ground and drive slowly to get outta the way.....
but if it would be in the front... well people are gonna be pissed.LOL is swap the front wheel with the back wheel and then drive off the to the side of the road.LOL
id rather **** people off than trash my rims any worse!
