Default Problems Jacking?

For any of you with the Eibach Pro-Kit/Koni Yellows, did you have any problems getting a floor jack under it, or using lifts in the garage with the 1.3"+ drop? I use a local garage with hydraulic lift but will get adjustable coilovers if this gets me too low. (I like the drive on push button convenience of a lift)

This is what you do, when you want to jac it up, get a couple of pieces of ordinay wood, drive up on them and voila, you car is now about an inch higher allowing you to get a jack under the car. If you need to take it to a shop, take the pieces of wood with ya, they're portable, they're lightweight, and very convienient. Foe $50 I'll sell ya mine---j/k

The wood is a good idea. I always use the scissor jack to raise my car an inch and then use my floor jack. Oddly, my mechanics floor jack slides under my car with no problem. Wheels on the front of my jack are too big.

Sometimes it starts to lean to the left a bit. To compensate I use my other hand and after a period of time it starts to straighten out again.

Just use the factory jack to raise it enough to slide in your regular jack.
I use the factory tie down points in the front

put smaller wheels on the front of your jack.
