My old man bought something similar to the blue jack pictured, used, from Pickles equipment auctions a couple of years ago. Not sure the brand, his is painted bright orange.

I would love something similar - my car is at around 85-90mm ride height ATM.

Apparently costco sell real low jacks that a lot of slammed guys on nissansilvia use (if the issue is your cars too low). From memory its around $160-180 and no ones had any problems with it

The costco jacks are good and low, but not really long enough to get to the front subframe of an MX5 if you are running low.

I found some on Amazon but they won't ship to Oz.
I'll keep looking locally and see if I can organise to ship to a US address ten forward.

Jack from the sills?

I just drive my car up onto two blocks and it'll be high enough for the Costco jack to get to the subframe.

That would certainly do the trick!

tradequip 2039, 70mm low to 610mm raised and it's long enough. bottom of the handle is juuuussst underneath the back of the rear bumper/lip when lifting from the diff (which i usually do)
