Yeah, my car is dropped about 2 inches. I can't get my dad's 2 ton floor jack under it. Only a low profile jack will fit, and that thing barely fits. So Case made me ramps, which she barely clears too. A lowered car can be a real pain to get up in the air. And I had considered the RS kit before...I would only have like an inch of ground clearance instead of 2, lol.

Just have to get the starter replaced. If it's too hot, she won't turn over. It's kind of a pain. But it's also like $200. I'm kinda running out of money now.

im using a tuffstuff reduction starter that seems to be holding out pretty good. it was quite a bit cheaper than the stock one.

Thanks Craby. Case looked one up for me on Summit, too. $130 plus like $10 or so for shipping is better than $210 total for a new one from Advanced. Plus I get it from Summit just as fast. It's only like 2 days shipping since they're not that far away.
