Went to look at the low profile jack...
...and came home empty handed.
It would work fine on the sides and rear, but was too short to reach the front jacking point without scraping the bumper. It was close, but definitely won't work if you have a lip of any kind. If I have to use ramps to get at the front jack point, I might as well keep my aluminum jack and use ramps all the time.
Sorry Marc, no sale.

My S is lowered by 1" and with using a sears race jack I still have no issues getting under the sides and rear jack points.

For anybody who has lowered their car, and modified their exhaust, you might want to consider a set of 4
I cannot get the jack under the rear if I just put the front up on the ramps, this tilts the back down so far the jack will not slide in under the exhaust to get to the rear diff. Many exhausts are different on how the single main pipe splits and goes side to side, mine is designed so that junction is right behind the diff, and that's what causes it to be in the way when the front is up on the ramps.
Cone_Mark- are you ordering a set???
