I am lowered to the max on stock bolts.
I use two 2x10's for each front wheel to get the front up 4 inches and use the HF 1-1/2 ton jack under the subframe in the front. This jack also fits well under the rear subframe with no blocks or anything else.
Been using this rig for just over two season of autocrossing, changing tires on/off each weekend, and probably have jacked the car at least hundred times or more with no problems using the $99 lightweight "racing" jack.
Yes it is cheap, but it seems to work fine and it is light and doesn't take up much room in the back of the Z with all my other racing stuff in the trunk of the Z (air bottle, tool box, gasoline powered standup sccoter, jack stands, water sprayer, small cooler, cordless impact, yada yada yada)

I've had the #47246 for about 4 yrs. So far it's been great and flawless. I've heard of others that have the #91039 are just as happy with them.
If you have a current HF mailer, it has a coupon for an additional 15% off.

This is what I have used with the rubber saddle pad attached for the past 6 years and also have the EE Frame Rails installed. Works great for pulling one wheel at a time - also works from front or rear with modifiers, blocks, etc. Only 2.25" off floor - lifts up to 22" high.
