I use a Wayco SuperLow, very reliable, just low enough to get under the race car ~90mm. Can highly highly recommend. Bought for $190+gst, unsure of retail.

Have a standard 2.5 tonne Wayco at the workshop that fits under my roadster (standard height) just fine. Unsure of price.

Otherwise try AES in Westhaven, they have sharp pricing with all sorts of tools. Really good guys to deal with too That's where I'd go if I needed a jack.


Hope that helps

For scissor jacks, local wreckers are the best source, otherwise try Repco or Supercheap.

I have been using this one from Savebarn

They are quite low and will get under a 5 with no problem. They are a bit short though so you are better off jacking from the side rather than trying to get under the diff or front subframe.

They normally list for about $240-245 incl GST. Only problem I have had is pump seals went on my first one after a year of quite heavy use.

The seals seem to be a problem on the Chinese race jacks. I also had a bigger version with longer reach under the car and the ram seals went on that. I had it repaired but the new seals failed as well and the cost of the repair compared to the cost of a new one made further attempts uneconomic.

If you are thinking of buying one of the Chinese ones then check what the warranty is on it.

190+gst is good price.. i have been asking around and looks like its around 400 to 500 mark might be too much for me
