Yeah, shes no butch by any means and she's no dainty flower neither. She
holds her own just fine and if she says she has a hard time parking the
car, then its very likely that any other dude would have the same
experience in the car.

This is exactly the point I was gonna make in another post. Im glad I
read on before replying.
My car is only lowered 2" and its hard, at times, to navigate when
stopped or below 2 MPH. Some movement fore or aft does help to turn the
wheel. With the autox shoes on the car, turing the wheel in the pits
while stopped is nearly impossible. So, those of you with 175/70R13 tires
wont -even- know what im talking about.
