Does anyone on here have a low trolly jack that fits under ya car if it's seriously low? As all normal ones dont fit under my sideskirts, wondered if anyone knew of a place to get a lower trolly jack?
Obviously ya normal sports cars are very low and gather normal trolly jacks wont go under?

Can't use a standard jack with side skirts unless they have cut outs like the GSi ones.
Jack the car up on the rear beam or on the front cross member in between the front chassis legs if ya cars low... That is if you can get it under the front bumper.

i built some custom ramps, about 2 metres long and about half a metre high, even used to drive red widearch corsa on to them, then you put the axle stands under neath!! gets a good working heights!

With 18's on my car is high enough off the ground to net need a jack, unless I need to take a wheel off (Taking a wheel off is damn hard - took me 2 hours to fit them  )
