putting the G on blocks?
I am having my OEM 19's painted on monday (black with a polished lip
).
I dont have an extra set of rims, so i have to put the G up on blocks till its done
. I was wondering if this is the right way to block it up?
1. losen the lugs
2. jack up the one corner
3. place the cinder block under the A-arm(with a towel over it).
3 remove the wheel
4. lower the car
5. do next wheel until they are all done.
Im not sure if this is the correct way to do it, but i wanted to make sure before i break somethin.
thanks in advance,
-Tom

yea jack stands are not expensive about $50 for 4 cheap ones @ autozone, strauss, pep boys, etc etc
....& they are returnable if u "dont like them" **hint** just say they didnt feel sturdy enough
but cinder blocks with a towel over them will be just as effective

I wouldn't do it with the block. cuz at any point with the weight of the car, if you shift it wrong or too quickly and brake a block, then $50 for jack stands will be some much cheaper then repairing, bumper, paint and what ever else you mess up when the car comes down.
Man you bought a some what expensive car, just go spend another 50 bucks and do it the right way.
