floor jack
 
OK found out that my car with the gfx needs a low profile jack (I wanted to put my O2 sims on). Anyone with a source? I am about an inch short on a standard floor jack. TIA

Try rolling your car up on a couple 2x4 pieces of wood to give you the extra clearance to get the floor jack up under your car.

well on my ta i droped it abotu 1.5 inches and have slp subframes. the opnly jack i have found that fits no problem besides the stock jack is a cheap $30 jack that sears sells. it even comes wiht a case. but thats about it if i have a flat i hafta use the stock jack to start it then i use a reguilar jack.

I use a bottle jack just behind the front tire right where my subframe connector is welded in, I jack it up there and get some room and then put my floorjack under the front.

I use a set of 2x8's for my GF jetta that is lowered 3"... there's NO WAY to get a normal jack under the car without it...
