    lowered + side skirts..does the stock jack work?

    I was wondering what you guys do in case of an emergency.

    Is that stock jack still usable on your car?

    how about with side skirts, like the 'is ones?

    or do you just tow the car somewhere if you get a flat?

      Unless your pretty low. I usually ride my car up on some afternoon wood and then place the jack in place and get my Arnold Iron pumping.

            I have H&R sports, iS side skirts and my floor jack still fits under there. I don't have a stock jack, so I have no idea about that.

                    The more you post this pic. The more I'm planning my trip to FL to rob you of your wheel/spacer set-up once your other set of 9's get there.

                      The stock jack works with a pretty low car, I'm pretty low on coilovers and I still have clearance for the stock jack. 1 broken oilpan on pretty decent surface streets, my current pan is scraped to hell now too.

                        The stock jack doesnt work on my car. Zender skirts stick out a bit more than iS though.

                          On eibachs with iS skirts, and my stock jack still (barely) works with the tires inflated.

                          Keep a low hydraulic jack with you in case you get a flat, though.. or else you'll have to call your mom at 8am, waking her up, telling her to dig around in the garage for a hydraulic jack, which you'll have to describe as "that car lifting thingy I used the other day" because she has no clue what it is, and she'll eventually find it, and drive it to you, with you making a fake sad face when she arrives, so she'll feel semi-bad for you instead of bitching non-stop..

                            ^^I'd tell her to fire up the roll-back and get out to my location.
