Jacking a lowered BRZ/FRS?
 

I'm awaiting my Eibach R2s but with my side skirts I was wondering if anyone is using something to assist in raising/lowering your car?

I was thinking of getting two planks of wood to drive onto/off of. Anyone have ideas? My jack is a low profile but the car might be too low to get it under after I install the coilovers.

wood might be the best way, its what ive always used

2 12 inch 2x4s here. Jack one end (front/rear) of the car at a time here.

This

Ground clearance stock 4.9". My jack's saddle height 4". My ground clearance after lip and springs: 2.9".

Don't like wood/ramps, so I'm selling my jack for a 2.5" saddle height jack. Most people won't do that and will opt low-pro ramps or wood planks to raise the car's ground clearance to something more friendly.

Thanks, that was what I had in mind..I didn't know if there was anything new on the market to solve this problem, good old fashion wood 2x4s work for me.

Yeah, it is kinda ghetto, but it works. :happy0180:

Old brake rotors work very well too if you have any of them kicking around.

Not a bad idea, I'll be pulling my OEM ones off very soon (just waiting on 4 bolts to arrive from Wilwood).

Tip: jack from the front FIRST. Jacking up the rear will lower and angle the front lip slightly and remove even more precious clearance.

I'm getting tired of using the scissor jack, then my main jack, so might be looking at getting some of these:

If you're using the scissor jack included with the car, be careful using it repeatedly like that. They are meant to be used for emergencies only and have been known to give out if used repeatedly in place of a real jack.

Thanks, I only use it to get the car high enough for my main jack.
