you probably aren't low enough to have a problem with car jacks.... but, if you are, just drive the car onto a piece of wood and then jack it up.

That would probably only work if the flat is in the rear.

I don't think your low enough to not be able to us the stock jack. You might be to low to use a regular hydrolic jack and would need either a low profile jack or drive onto a piece of wood and then jack it up. When you use a hydrolic jack you can then lift from the front lifting point and from the rear tow hook.

should have no problems with the honda jack.
but the other jacks you will like those pump jacks you get from craftsman and such.
