i still drive over wood on mine just to give it more of a clearanace but i have jacked up mine without the wood for stuff that is super quick like the cusco brace bar. I would however second buying jack pads for your car or if you have had a bmw before it should be same hockey pucks. Not sure which one Axix bought but i got these https://www.amazon.com/SuboTech-Universal-Square-Polyurethane-Adapter/dp/B07GR283BR/ref=sr_1_8?crid=260UO466O9EU1&dchild=1&keywords=bmw+jack+pad+adapter&qid=1592332328&sprefix=bmw+jack+,aps,182&sr=8-8 and they worked fine. Get the rubber and not metal ones as they have some give to it and wont mess up the jack points.
Thanks. I ended up getting two sets. One set they said wasn't going to be here until September so I grabbed another and ended up getting both like 3 days later.

I ended up with these:

if you had to choose, do you like the hard rubber or anodized set?

Rubber is far less likely to mess things up. So I would vote rubber every time.

I'm lowered on Eibach springs. I use 2 pieces of wood that I nailed together as a small ramp. Then I jack the car up easily using the rubber square pads. Once the wheel is up a little, you can move the wood out of the way and the wheel is at the perfect height.

I measured a few days after installing the springs. My front section in the middle is just under 6.5". Front fender to ground is 25.75" and rear is 26.75". I should probably measure again since the springs are probably settled by now.

Probably spent a half day searching the internet trying to find the Omega 29023 Magic Lift. Its discontinued everywhere, except for one sketchy looking website that i don't feel like trying my luck. So I ended up getting the sunex 6602LP equivalent of the arcan XL2T (it's the same company, just different branding). You can reach the front center jack point without driving onto boards, but unfortunately it makes light contact with the under tray. Looks like there's no one-step solution to jack up the car without ramps or boards if you have a splitter or lower suspension.

One of the best investments in tools I have ever made, along my Easy-red racheting long wrenches and the Ingersoll electric 1/2 impact gun
Things I never knew how I lived without before I had them 😂

If you can afford it and even if you can’t try saving enough so you can get one…this is definitely the way! Have used one before and was about to buy my own but bought a spoiler instead 🤦‍♂️ but it’s for sure my next big purchase for the car

Have you thought about a pair of these or equivalent to lift the car for floor jack access?

I wonder if you could get this set of low profile race ramps, and just park the car on them everyday. That way, you wouldn't need to worry about finding a spot to store them, and the car is already lifted when it comes time to jack it up. My only concern is that the cheaper race ramps might deform or become brittle over time.

I have a set of 5000LB Quickjacks but I can't remember what the minimum height is with jack pd adaptors. I guess I'll find out if they fit the Supra soon enough
