I got this 3 1/2 ton jack from costco for only $60 or $70 bucks. If it breaks, they said I can just bring it back. Had it for a while. Works for me.

 

Well, I was looking for something of good quality, lightweight aluminum, so I can carry it with me to autoxes.

Here is a link to another brand of jacks that I have used. They are really nice, but a little pricy. They are heavy, but very durable. The jackstands are really nice too.

time for some stoptechs
j/k... nice calipers.

 

thanks! I like to think of these as Compact Brembos....

 

Those of you guys with lowered suspension, front diffusers, or both, what are you guys using to jack up the car? My aluminum racing jack from Kragens is way too tall and hits the bottom of the diffuser and doesn't reach the front crossmember. I'm currently resorting to driving the car up onto 2" worth of plywood just to get enough space to slide the jack underneath the car. And it's not like I've slammed the car either--my front is lower than stock only by 16mm (around 5/8 inch).

Is there a particular jack that has a much lower profile than the one I'm using?

 

i use the Rhino ramp from Kragen!! around $30-$40 bucks...
worth every penny....

 

you can use the spare tire jack (the one thats in the trunk) just to raise the car high enough for the real jack to fit underneath.

the rhino ramps may work too, but if you have a front lip... it won't.

 

Wait for the sales at Kragen's... $20-$25 for a set

And yes, worth every penny... again

 

Mine is 3.5". I doubt you'll find lower than that....

 

Which front lip do you have? I have the top secret front diffuser. It sticks out pretty far...

 

Here is mine jack :

 

Nice looking jack, Vlad... I can't quite tell about the contact point, but does it have the little dip that the stock jack has? It looks like it, but the monitor at work sucks....

 

No, it doesn't. It's about 4 inches wide rubber plate, works fine on Z.
