Yea I guess I will just use one board and see if I can get the low profile Jack under it.

They wasn't joking when the said low isn't easy.

I have to drive up on a board, then Jack it up front the side, put the Jack stands in a temp spot, then Jack it up from the center Jack point, then secure the Jack stands on the sides.

I'll show you a better one later. Use 1/4 plywood, add them on top of each other in gradual steps, you'll clear just fine. Or get bags like mentioned...i'll hook you up with UAS

lol that doesn't mean anything, at least you can still jack up your car

i have to custom fab a piece of wood/metal/wuteverthefvck to put on the lifting portion of the jack to reach the jackpoint before the arm hits the sideskirt

With aftermarket coilovers you have the ability to adjust the dampening like regular coilovers. You don't need to replace the Z shocks.... lifesgood has bags and he has G shocks and it was a nice ride. Wasn't bouncy and he was riding with about a 2 finger gap. His car does feel stiff, but he has racing seats and some other stuff to stiffen the car up. I'd recommend having coilovers, but its definitely not necessary, you can always make the swap later.

I do however, recommend going with the 8 valve setup. With the 4 valve you'll have too much of a boat feeling.

I'll be going with UAS when funds permit. I'll be riding lower than what I do now and just use the bags to go up when there's a driveway. And the ability to go higher than OEM ride height is a huge plus, especially if you have an aftermarket bumper that sits lower.

Posted in the aggressive offsets thread, but figured I'd post here as well...

I might have a surprise for you fellas in a few weeks. Gonna put some spacers on in the rear...will be in double digit negatives and NOT in the teens. Just gonna try it out but I'll be dialing in some positive camber and probably adding spacers. Gonna match rear camber with the front and deal with rubbing the tire, just getting my suspension modified. For those that don't know, my rears already are a 20x10.5 +0 offset.
