Jacking Problems - Coilovers
Alot of you have installed coilovers and slammed your cars. How did you jack your cars up, and then get the jacks out from under the car once lowered?
Cheers homies.

Either get a low profile jack or use a scissor jack to lift the car a little then continue on with the other jack.

Put down a piece of wood in front of the tires and drive on top it and it should bring the car up a few inches and them the jack should fit right under

i made a long stair-like ramp from 2x4's. it's almost 4 feet long but it's also handy for oil changes -- only takes me 30 mins tops.
