Guys,

After installing the H&R coilover with the Hamman side skirt, I wasn't able to take my car to the dealer and have services done becasue my car is too low. The Hamman side skirt is relatively sitting lower than the original side skirt, which cover the square jack location underneath the car.

I know alot of you lowered your car, and some of you do have hamman side skirt, how do you guys services you car like oil change, and break services that require to jack up the car.

please help

If your shop can jack up the car and lower it, I don't understand why the dealer can't.

They need to put a pieces wood underneath each stand location(4x). The dealer don;t want to take the risk of damaging the side skirt.
