Low cost Low profile jacks?
So today I realized(discovered) that none of my jacks can get under my car to any jack points after I've lowered it.
With the mazdaspeed kit and lowering springs I don't have a lot of clearance anywhere except in the rear, so I'm guessing even ramps are out.
Are there any tricks or does anyone know of an affordable low profile jack?
Thanks.

i drive mine onto 2 2x4s then take 2 small crank jacks like the one in the trunk and jack up the sides until i can fit the jack underneath. its not as bad as it sounds

The Harbor Freight one is nice because it has a large rubber pad at the lifting point instead of a metal "cup" like the Norhern Tool one. Gives you more options for placement.

Yeah, I had been considering using some wooden blocks, I guess I just wanted something more permanent.
Thanks for the suggestions guys, harbor freight looks nice.. a bit more, but I'll probably go that direction.
