Question for people with lowered z's with bodykits
ok, i have sprint springs on my car (1.8 inches lowered all around) and i have the nismo body kit on the car. i took it to the dealer today to have the 11K servicing done (i only have 9K miles on it...but i'm taking it off the road for the winter...so, i figured i'd get it done before it sits for the winter). one problem....i get a call today and the guy tells me that he can't get the car on a lift since it's too low.
SOOOOO
what do you guys do?
i'm planning on taking it to jiffy lube or some place like that (that has pits instead of lifts)....i'll make sure to bring a nissan oil filter (or do you have better suggestions on one) and i'll make sure to tell them exactly how much oil goes in the car.
but....what happens when i actually have to take the car in for a repair and they have to put it on the list??? guess i didn't think of that!!
i guess i'll have to find a dealer that either has a pit or has a drive up lift. so far...i'm SOL! d'oh!
(anyone from the boston area that knows of one....let me know!)
thanks!

my dealer told me the same thing. He said my kaminari skirts lowered it by .75 on sides and cant get me on his lift, i sumarily canceled my maintenance plan and if they need to get it in there for anything ill just pull the side skirts off for them. Its only like 10 bolts on each side so not much of a prob to get them off

You would think that the Dealers that can't currently service lowered cars would simply invent a way to get the car on the lift. Even if involved just driving the car up on blocks of wood. They don't seem to realize that we will go somewhere else and they are losing business.

I wonder whether the new dealer has a different type of lift or whether they use small ramps.
I can't use my floor jack on the Z either but it's such a simple solution to drive up on 2" thick boards--floor jack works well. I agree with teh215: Have to guess that something similar would work with a dealer lift.
