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.

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

bluepoint.
It's what most decent workshops have.
Super low, long, and bloody heavy.
I think they are $600+ though.
