Thanks for the replies. What do you guys recommend for Jacks and Jack stands? I'm sure something low to the ground is needed otherwise driving up on some boards for more elevation.

Thanks

I have a 2is, but just ordered 2 of these after noticing the same problem;

Haven't had an opportunity to try them out yet, but it sounds like they've used them extensively on their IS-F..

I have the jack from costco that seems to fit underneath the vehicle, along with craftsman jack stands. Will need to buy those pinch weld adapters though.

This one just barely fits under the front of my lowered car on rsr downs. I picked it up a couple years ago on sale for $119

Hello everyone

Canadian tre has a special

2.25 ton 119$ Jack

http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/mo...l#.VlsqZF69E11



The range is 4-18 1/4'' (10-46.5cm)

Does anyone have experience with this jack or think it might /might not fit under 2015 IS250 ?

Thanks in advance

Looks a lot like the Torin I have so my guess is that it will fit fine!
