Thinking about getting one of these two jacks for the s2k. Have anyone had or used on of these before?

I am also thinking about getting the craftsman 3.5 ton jack stand but the "U" shape of the tip doesn't seem to fit too well with the s2k subframe jack points. Would the craftman support our car without damaging it?

 

I have the AC DK20, it weighs a lot but it's a great jack. It did reach the frontal jack point on the S2000 (but barely) with all four wheels on the ground.

 

Were you able to reach the differential jack point with it?

 

I have the HF and love it. I've compared it side-by-side to the more expensive aluminum jacks, and seems to have no drawbacks for a bundle less money. Light enough to take to the track instead of those toy mini-jacks I used to bring, and has virtually replaced my large, heavy Sears garage jack even at home.

I have lowered coil-overs, and can not reach the front jack point without blocks. I can reach the rear diff.

I usually jack up from the side, changing out left then right.

 

I recently purchased the Harbor Freight jack and it's even better than I thought it would be.

One word of caution, the "free shipping" comes with a high price. I ordered my jack on October 30th and received it on November the 19th. I would suggest that if there is a store nearby, purchase it there or at least take a look at the jack.

 

If the front wheels are on the ground, reaching the rear differential jack point is easily done with the DK20. If the front of the car is lifted, the DK20 can still reach the jack point but it's a very tight squeeze with the exhaust pipes being in the way.

 

The first one is the same jack sold by Griot's Garage for about $600. It is a fanastic jack and I recommend it highly, especially at that price, which is a bargain for this kind of jack.

 

Found this aluminum jack online too, what do you guys think?

I just want to let everyone know that most retailers (Sears, Advanced, etc.) will be carrying some sort of aluminum racing jack next year for under $249 .

There is also a very heavy duty Michelin 3.5 Ton Garage jack on sale right now at Sam's for $59.99. This is the BEST deal on a heavy duty jack you will find.
