Question New new Floorjack

I've got an old one in the garage but I'm looking for something more low profile to make it easier to lift the 8.

Any suggestion?


Thanks guys

Cool....

I hadn't thought about using the trunk jack, brain fart. I bought some ramps that are low pro that my car STILL can't drive up on w/o bumper contact.

get the Harbor Freight racing jack, the small one more than adequate for most people and is easy to transport

the larger one is quite a bit stouter if you don't mind the weight penalty and higher cost

I have both .... both will easily fit under a lowered RX-8
