Slyphen has already bought his jack, but I said I'd post pics of fitment, so here they are. Future askers can refer to this thread.

My car is lowered on RCE Yellows, so ~0.7". This is not an aggressive drop, by any means. This is the 68050 jack from Harbor Freight. This jack is 39.5" long and has a 23.75" lifting height.

Here, the jack pad is located on the front jacking point. Of note, I have about four inches from the edge of the bumper to the shoulder of the jack. The 60678 jack is 5" shorter, so there might be clearance issues.

Here, the jack pad is located under the rear diff. Note that I do not have full range of motion on the jack handle, and this is a long jack. Shorter jacks would be worse.
