Someone in the LA area would be best. Thanks. | | | 11-21-2010, 07:18 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Rocky Hill, CT Posts: 1,065 | FWIW you can just put the jack under the sideskirt. I put it directly under where the hole for the OEM jack is, works just fine. __________________ 1995 318TI base. 95 2.5L from 325IS. S50 cams+pistons, e36 M3 front brakes. H&R race springs F+R.

Somebody jacked my car up from the center of the sideskirt and it caved the floorboard in. Now my sideskirt bulges out a little bit in that spot | | | 11-21-2010, 07:47 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Minneapolis Posts: 1,587 | I put a hockey puck on my jack, then line the puck up with where the jack pad is suppose to clip in. Works great and protects from any damage the jack's saddle would do. | | | 11-21-2010, 08:17 PM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 | Quote: Originally Posted by CirrusSR22 I put a hockey puck on my jack, then line the puck up with where the jack pad is suppose to clip in.

This is the only place I do it, right under where the OEM jack should be/where the pads were until they fell off. __________________ 1995 318TI base. 95 2.5L from 325IS.
