    Default need to find jackstands that can be used on a very low car

    none of the jackstands i have found are small enough to fit the mr2, i just wanted to know where i can find these small jack stands at??

    i might be a noob, but damn the two sets are to big and won't fit under the car. :confused:

    o also when i do put the jackstands that i have on it, it digs into the bodykit. Those jackstands are just to big for what i have.

    First drive your car up on 2x4s and then get a floor jack under it and then put the jacks under the front or rear crossmember.

    Have you tried using your factory jack just to get the car up enough to fit a fullsize jack up under?

    The 2x4 trick works too.
