escort cossies are a pain when lowered,cannot get a trolley jack in because of the kit/splitter.

especially when the tyre is flat too!.

costco is trade only though, so not accessable for anyone.

i hear costco are stopping selling these v.shortly and just doing cheaper normal height ones, so ebay wil be your friend if you want these.

i have one actually, they great for the price, just dont accidently remove the handle with the thing still jacked up, like i have, a few times, and cant get the fucker down again....
