Those with Side Skirts...

I am interested in getting side skirts. I am currently lowered with S-Tech. Is there a side skirt that would allow my car to be able to fit under the lift/jack? I normally take my car to the dealership for oil change and i am afraid if I have side skirts that are too low, they might end up cracking it. Is there any sides that aren't too low?

I use something like that so my jack can clear my sideskirts.
I first put the jack under the car then from the wheel well I put like a 3" jack saddle so that the jack doesn't touch the sideskirts.

I also have a set of these since my car is so low.

^ i agree you also you may wanna consider stillen side skirts. But either ways one way or another you will have to be very careful with any after market sideskirts when you're dropped on S-tech's. I have 350z s-tech's on mine with greddy side skirts & this is how i get my service done.

No matter what side skirt you go with you will always have to elevate your car a little to get the jack underneathe.

Thanks Shawn, about to lower my G and was wondering how I could get my
car on the lift without damaging my Impul sides.

Thank you all for your input. I was also considering the Impul side.

impul sides are actually pretty low because they dip down.
