Default Where's the jack???

I'm wanting to take the wheels off to paint my calipers but can't find a jack in the car-2000 vert-or the manual. Did they not come with a jack? If I have to buy one what is the required height-has not been lowered. Thanks.

well you are going to need to buy one and get a low profile one, under 4.5 in cause if its not you are not going to beable to fit it under the car or are going to have to lift up on it to fit it under.

As said above, you will need a low-profile floor jack. There are four specific points along the frame to lift, run your hand along the frame and you will find 4 oblong holes. It is really best to buy "jacking pucks" that fit in these holes and turn to lock in place. Without the pucks you take the chance of damaging the rocker panels.

I have 3x of these.
Super handy for our lowered cars.
Be sure to stick jack stands under the car if you are going to get under it.

LIsten to Dennis (C5 Bears Fan) and after you paint your calipers, check out his stereo/double din bezels. He is definitely The Man...but he won't open a shop in NY (:
