have you had this problem? Today I was going to the mall and my front passenger side tire blew, so I pulled into the gas station to check it out, then when I was about to put the spare on I couldnt get the jack underneath the reinforced area because I'm on a 2.5 drop plus the tire being flat. Luckily there was this guy installing an air pump for the gas station and he had some boards and a long rod so we stacked 2 boards and then used to rod to lift the car just alittle so I could slide the jack under the reinforced area. That guy was a life saver I lucked out. if you've had this problem, how did you get the jack under the car? No more riding with my car dumped. |

The EP3 Si's are such 4x4's stock, I was able to get a jack under my car with a flat and a 2.25" neuspeed race drop... Amazing how high this Si rides stock... Eric |
