I also have the low profilejack from harbor freight. Its been great so far and you cant beat it for $80, I also opted for their 2yr warranty for an extra $20. If it stops working or gives you any problems return it to a store and swapit out

Harbor Freight 3000lb aluminum racing jack for 60 dollars if you catch it at the right time.

roll over a 2x6 or a 2x8. the extra inch and a little will get your jack to fit!

you can just cut some 2x4 and drive the car up on it to give you the height it needs to fit a jack under

Craftsman has an aluminum jack that can fit under even lowered S2000's and I can raise mine with it in about 5 pumps.

harbor freight $60 low profile jack gets under my lowered sides just fine. can't reach front/rear jack points, though. less than 10 pumps to get the car up. nothing fancy.
