and I'm not kidding.Lowered with a body kit and usually not using boards to drive on you have to jack the car up a few inches with the stock jack and then move the floor jack in to raise the car the rest of the way.
It really isn't that difficult, and provides a cheap alternative to any S2000 owner who already owns a floor jack not designed for lowered vehicles. You'd be surprised how many of us in the Mid-A do this! If you already have a floor jack, then you're not spending a dime on something sleeker, and if you don't have a floor jack Sears carries this on special right now:
For $40 you get the floor jack and two jack stands.

Works great from the side jack points. I think it'll work on the rear jackpoint too.

That thing is freaking heavy!!!. I like that it's sturdy and feels solid. But, it doesn't jack up when the handle is in a low position. So I can't use it on the center jack. I'm debating on returning it at the moment.

i think the craftsman is like 65lbs. cuz that is what it says on the box.
i guess weight shouldn't matter since it is on the freakin ground all the time, but i always lug mine around to different houses. so i went with a lighter one.
