pete r - the old tires were used when i put them on - they were 215/55's - i used them because i was trying to get the car back on the road and they were here, free and had pretty good tread left on them - the new ones are 225/50's which is the stock size - the new tires definitely lowered the car so i did raise it back to the 180mm +/- 20mm that is says in the manual - the car has lowered a bit more since the first post (drove it up and down the highway for about 50 miles) but is still about 188-190 mm - so i'll keep driving it and see if it drops more - it never seemed to take so long to drop and i've had this car up and down on jacks untold times - but then i was never so paranoid about it and didn't measure it as carefully as i am now - the new tires are to blame for that - so would the fact that it was aligned at 180 and is now 188 affect the toe in setting - like too much toe in - or does it mean that if it remains within 180mm +/- 20mm (which it has) the toe won't change enough to matter?
