I appreciate the responses guys, but never did I state that I was downshifting into 1st gear every time.
I also never said I was ONLY using engine braking as means of stopping. I meant that I use it in addition to the brakes to help the car slow down at a reasonable and fluent rate.

You kinda try to get used to it, but every now and then it surprises me.

This happens to me when on the freeway. In "D" and wanting to get around someone going slower. I downshift but it goes from 7 to 5 or 7 to 4 -
Also, back to the original question, I think I am now more cautions since lowering the car and when pulling to my work the curb is at a huge slant. Of course I take it at an angle, but all I am asking is why the car seems to lag & rev but not move when I try and accelerate back up the slope
