Default A decent garage floor jack for cheap.

Just went and got one of these:

It's a no name brand jack made in China. Lifts 2.75 tons from 4-5/8" to 19.5". It will fit under the side of the S2000 without a problem. It seems to be built really well. The thing weighs a ton but I don't plan to take it with me anywhere. I've got a smaller one for that purpose.
Cost: $125.00 (Can. of course)
Where: Bowness Auto Parts.

That's too bad. Just drive the car up onto little wooden blocks. Fortunately, my jack fits perfectly under the sides.

I would love an aluminum one just for esthetics but unless one intends to take it to the track or transport it around to other locations, that's an awful lot of money to spend on something that hides under your car and gets all kinds of crud spilled onto it.

Exactly. I do alot of my own maintenance and change my wheels back and forth alot. Someday I'll have an aluminum one.

I have a pretty nice, heavy duty one for now but damn is it heavy.
