My GP sports kit just came in (thanks bulletproof!) and I test fitted it on and the question came to mind.. How in the world do you people jack your cars up? I have a J's front lip so jacking it from the front is out of the question and the side skirts wrap around underneath the car. Any suggestions on how to jack my car up with the kit on?

 

How would you change a tire? If you can get the little scissors jack* under there, use that as a starter to get enough clearance for a bigger jack. I have 3 jacks: tiny, sugar ray, and george. Each is used to take jacking literally to the next level.


I bought one on ebay for almost nothing - they are noit cheap for the S2000 at the dealer.

 

The thing is the GP sports kit wraps under the car where the jackpoints are. Err this sux.

 

Have a buddy lift up at the fenders, or drive onto some 2x4's.

 

your avatar alex would get mine in the air.

 

Back on topic, I bought a Craftsman low-pro aluminum speed jack for a GREAT price not too long ago. A quality jack is a worthwhile investment for any DIYer. I would first check out your local pawn shops.


If not, I know Sam's sells a 2.5-ton low-pro for under $75.

 

Blah that sucks, i got a lift and I cant even use it if I put the kit on lol.

 

Ah, so you got a lift! Even better. I'd just put some heavy duty pads on the floor where your tires would be when you lift the car. They won't get in the way of the arms (I'm assuming this is a 2- or 4-post with swingarms?) and it'll give you the extra clearance. Some plywood would work just as well.

 

that's a definate no no... I just had my set up finished and they way they lifted my car up was w/ a air jack under the car hooked up to their air compressor. At home, FLY_S2K and I had to use 3 different devices, the OEM jack, heavy duty 2ton jack and then a jack stand itself. Have fun!

 

that' sounds like a plan.. try that out!
