Hi All,

My ST is lowered 40mm and 30mm at rear. I want Event tyres to fit two new fronts.
I know they use these inflatable 'ballon' thingy's to lift the car up to change wheels, but are these suitable for lowered cars?

In most garages I have other work done, they use wooden black on the trolley jack to lift car, otherwise it catches the sideskirt.

Put a couple of 2x4 offcuts in your boot, drive the relevant wheels onto them before trying to get the jack under, it'll raise the car back to where it would be as standard.

Thanks mate. Haven't got a clue what offcuts are though?

Leftover bits of wood from cutting a long piece to length.
