I got a habor fright low pro. Works pretty well. Doesn't quite fit under my lip, but that's not difficult to fix.

My only complaint but is more of a wish, is that it lifted a little higher.

I work at Americas Tire Co, and these are the low pro jacks we use. Very solid jacks, that can easily get under slammed hondas. On an average day we use these jack on 75+ cars when we don't use the hydro lifts.

at $99 that harbor freight one makes me wish I had $100 to spend on it >.>

I'm pretty tempted to just get some "low ramps" they run about $50. Not sure if it would be worth it to skip that and opt for the $100 harbor freight jack.

My predicament now is that I can't jack up my car at the jack points and put that side on a jackstand at the same time. Right now I resort to putting jackstands under the tow hooks on the front of the car and putting my old wheels under the car as a fail safe. The jack doesn't go high enough to use the tow hooks and then put jackstands on the side.

I've had mine for just over a year.

I don't use it much, but its always fine when I do..

My friend has a craftsman jack, big piece of junk. Granted its not the low pro or anything. It's more trouble to use then it's worth.

this one is pretty low and lifts pretty high. Wish I would have gotten this actually.

i've had the HF aluminum one for over 6 years now. you can get it for $60 if you catch it on sale. i like it, and its light enough to take to autoX events.

jdmeg6honda

If you're in a bind for money I just saw a $44 one at Walmart believe it or not.

Then use any jack, since nearly all will fit once you get the car up slightly on the wood.

TOO MUCH TORQUE

might as well use the oem scissors jack...

thats what i do, lift it with up with scissors jack and use my craftsman non low profile

I bought a low profile ARCAN from Costco for a hundred bucks works great and comes with foam around bar and on plate.
