I always just jack up one of the front jack points enough to get 2 2x12s under the tire on that side. Then I can get the low pro jack under the front jack point (barely). I'm 26.25 FTG all around, so obviously lowered. Stock height, I could get the low pro jack under the front without doing anything extra, IIRC.

If I see another picture of some noob who plastidipped his 17" rims, I swear to god I'm going to hit one of my kids.

I'll do it. I'm not kidding. This has to stop.

Friends don't let friends plastidip (unless it's a tool handle).

iCrap

Agreed... plastidip dosen't look all that great. Maybe for a small badge or something. That isnt my car btw lol

Yep. 24" long, slight bevel; just enough to catch the lower curve of the tire. I have a smooth garage floor too...not painted but...

I am also 26.25 do you use a Hockey Puck on the side jack points? I use the same jack but have been using a small 2x4. Its only good for a few jacks before it splits.

I know this was directed to XP, but I do use hockey pucks.

I use one with a notch in it for the side pinch-welds, and a whole one for the central jack points. The puck takes away another 1/2" of clearance for the central point.

I get the pucks at Play-It-Again Sports for a buck a piece.

^yup, exactly that. They will eventually split, too, but will take much more abuse than wood before doing so.
Hockey Giant in town has new pucks for about a buck each (buy new vs used, as they are not as brittle and more "supple").

I do... notched in the middle. That's funny, I thought I was weird for doing that.

Then I go to my mechanic and he doesn't even give it a moment's thought when putting the car on his lift. Go figure.

iC - That's the source, eh?


BTW - Spacers look great. Very nice flush fit there.

you guys hear of liquid wrap? its like plastidip, but it has a glossy finish and is 5 times more durable. Peels off like vinyl wrap.

On another note, I finally did all my fluids yesterday.... its ridiculous how much of a difference there is.... car idles at 750 instead of 1100 lol, steering is smoother, brakes are smoother, shifting is seamless instead of choppy..... like driving a new car. Why didnt I do this earlier?

iCrap

There are a bunch of different types of liquid wraps. There is even a new one which is sandable and can be polished, and yet it still peels off. Pretty crazy.
