Me 3 !
I just set a 1 inch thick board behind my wheels then hop in the car and release the E-Brake and as soon as the car rolls backwards on top of the board, I yank the brake.
Even tho im on a slanted driveway i still have to use my left foot to push my car backwards. light *** thing, cant even roll over a 1 inch board.

Habor Freight have the aluminum jacks that will work. I have a < 4" clearance in the front due to the CF Lip. The jack clears it with no problem.

Re: what jack for a lowered car (96_civ)
Yeah, the board way is how most of us do it to get a jack underneath the front jack support. Can't recommend an easier solution than that.

Re: what jack for a lowered car (EG_Civic_GSR)
I just roll up on a phone book, and throw the jack under there. Ruined a couple but they were old, free, and work great everytime.

ditto...nothing beats the oem one. my car is lowered 3" and its not a problem putting the jack wherever.
i dropped my car 3.5" in the rear and the jack still works.
nothing fancy just works great
