Floor Jacks
My floor jack will barely get under the stock car, and I am planning to lower it with shocks and springs, so I need a new jack. So what are people using? I was thinking of this Summit SUM-G1020 - Summit® Low-Profile Hydraulic Floor Jacks - summitracing.com Looks nice and low at the lifting pad, but is the low part long enough to get under the nose of the car to the X member or diff?
I just found this one for a similar price http://tinyurl.com/6g9d83
Thanks

I've been eyeing up an aluminum jack myself since my trusty(going on like 6 years, apparently new ones suck) old 3 ton craftsman is so damn heavy(like 90 pounds) if i have to carry it to the street or something. Plus it's nice to have 2 jacks around, not including scissor jacks, had one break on me and won't use one unless i have to.

Not a jack per se, but I was floored to realize that my miata will roll up on my set of low profile Rhino Ramps that I bought 6 years ago but couldn't use with either of my Zs or my Civic. Any jack will get under the front after rolling up on them.

Driving the car up on a peice of wood helps, but it is not always easy to do in my garage. My jack is juuuust to high, so it will not fit under the motor to lift the car on the cross member behind it. But... I know I will be getting a motorised sissor jack by my GF for christmas and I hope it will fit under the car.

I've had good luck with Harbor freight stuff... just get an extended warranty on it and they replace it without question.
It looks like the first posted in this thread from Summit.. but blue.
I also had the other HF one in here... it got stolen but worked well for a long time.
So yah... i have this one now.
