Had this same problem when I lowered my car
The back wheel is lifting off the ground and it should be spinning wildly since it's not touching anything. Probaly caused by a high driveway
My passenger rear was the one that was lifting up so what I did was go on my driveway at an angle where my passenger side wheels were on first, backup, get my driver side front wheel on, backup and I was able to get in

must be a steep transition from the street to the driveway.
the reason why your 2is can't make it up the driveway because, given steeper driveways, while approaching and going up said driveway at an angle, one side is experiencing such a heavy load that the opposite corner becomse fully unloaded. and because of the shortened shocks of your coilovers, the shock body simply isn't long enough to push the tires down, causing a lack of traction. thus the reason for the traction control system interfering.
you've got a few creative options, but either be prepared to raise your 2is back up so that it makes it up the driveway, or be prepared to park streetside for every steep driveway you have to drive up.

What do you mean "it's always been off"? You can't permanently disable the traction control - you have to turn if off each time the car is started either by holding the Traction Control button for 5(?) seconds or doing the peddle dance on '06 models.
