Had a few PMs asking about how they worked out. They worked out great. I did have to roll the rear fenders sitting on Tein Flex so it's a custom drop.

Running FK452 275/35 19s in the rear, I'm not sure if I ran 245 or 255 in the front.

Just get some longer wheel studs to stop from snapping your stock ones if you have'nt already. You'll be fine.

Roneski. May I ask how you jacked up the front using a normal floor jack? Did you rig some type of spacer adaptor or something?

The floor jack in the pic is a low clearance jack from Summit Racing.

My car is just high enough to use it. I also have a Craftsman racing jack that works pretty good. I've worked on a friends G that has a Kenstyle kit and is lowered. In his case I was able to slide the jack under the skirt but couldn't lift because the jack arm contacted the kit before it got to the jack point. In his case I did have to get the head of the jack a little higher using an old psychology book.

Thanks but I was referring to how you jack up the car right there w/o munching up the oem jack point. ie.. it has that lip that requires something with a slit in it. ie.. like the oem jack has.

Ahhh... gotcha. That particular jack does have a rubber pad on the head. I haven't had a problem with it screwing up the jack point. The Craftsman jack on the other hand will tend to chew it up a little.

Someone does make a slotted adapter, but I don't have one. I'll see if I can find a link.
