Just trying to help those shopping for the best, as suggested in this thread. Although I cringed at the price at first, I don't regret buying the AC jack for the S2000. It has paid for itself, and is probably the best tool investment I've made for the car.

follow up Q- found a coupon online for 69.99 for this jack. have you tried to use it to lift any cars heavier than a s2k? my other car is an 06 G35 coupe, which weights 3400 pounds. since this jack is rated for 1.5 tons, I'm wondering how capable it would be still for a car that's heavier than the S2K. would prefer to have 1 jack I could use for both cars, but not if it's going to be a safety issue.

3 ton jack coupon $79.99
That way you dont have to worry.
Should still fit under the S too I think but should probably go check in-store to be sure. They usually have floor models out.

although you are probably right about double checking the clearance since it isn't advertised as a racing jack.

this one. I personally have this one and it works great. very low profile, good price and hasn't failed me. its pretty sturdy/heavy. Doesn't look like it was cheaply made. Just pick up some jack stands and you'll be ok

No kidding on the $600 price! I will stick with a couple of 2X6s under the front tires every time I need to do a tranny fluid change!

Anyone have this one? Arcan XL2 I like the long reach - seems it would get to the middle points. For now I use a craftsman and drive onto ramps - clunky solution but it works. Question is - race ramps or another jack?

I have this one(2 ton) to lift my S and it reaches both the rear and front center points of the car.

I measure 27" from the front bumper to the front of the jack-point. Does the taller part of the jack (the side by the handle) fit under your bumper? Thats the only way I could see it working for me... I have the HF 2.5 ton jack witch is about 4" shorter than the 2 ton and mine is not even close, but I can't fit the taller side under the bumper.
