Is there a jack that can reach the front point easily?

Is there a low enough and long enough jack to reach the front jack point without needing to lift the sides or ramps etc?

Low profile racing jacks, they also have extended ones.

I recommend buying a second jack. Not uncommon to need 2 jacks, having previously owning an S2000 and FR-S (both low cars). At least one has to be a low profile type.

I have low profile ramps that allow a standard floor jack to reach the front jack point. These are the ones I have: https://a.co/d/c4G5Nfq. I also used them on my lowered Si. There might be some really cool long-reach low-profile jack (I actually opened this thread to see if someone posted one), but even if there is, it will be very expensive.

definitely an option for me. And yeah you’re probably right. I have a big red 3ton jack and I’m not too sure if it will even reach the front jack point since it is far back.

I use something like this for my low cars and love it. hopefully it will work well on the fl5. https://www.amazon.com/Arcan-2-Ton-...=low+profile+jack+extended+rea,aps,150&sr=8-4

I got a pair of low profile ramps. Drive the car onto those and use a quality floor jack.

I have 2 of these in my garage - inexpensive and space savers, plus good to have a backup floor jack I guess. Other than ramps, not sure if you can find the one jack that is slim enough and can reach the front.

I have bought a used scissor type jack from a VW golf mk7. It’s low enough and has a great folding winder said which I store in a small tool bag under the boot floor. Highly recommend

As per this

For lowered FK8/FL5, I use cusco plastic ramps to get the car somewhat off the ground and then I use my 3ton harbor freight jack to jack it up from the center point behind our rear motor mounts.

I have a cheap low profile jack and use my race ramps extenders to roll up on then the jack fits underneath

Anyone ever find one that works? I am coming up on needed a new jack anyways. Considering quick jacks, but thats just a lot of headache for quick tasks.

I got quick jacks as a gift and I hate using it. It nice but the setup takes long and it so heavy.

Its funny you should say this, I was about to order a set and watched a video. Dawned on me that it would take me twice as long to set this up, as it wouldto simply jack the car up a bit.
