I have a Bentley manual and I love it. Just always love getting any tips and advise I can. It just doesn't say how to load the suspension. Obviously with it on the ground I can't get under there to tighten them since it is already so low I can't squeeze underneath. Trying to figure out how I'm gonna manage that.
I drive mine up on ramps & then jack up the car & put it on jack stands in the front. From there, I jack up the rear of the car & put it on jack stands too.

I think I can get the car something like 17-18" off the ground. Maybe even 19" idk.

You can get a quality set if 3 ton jack stands for about $50.00. Look up Torin Big Red Jack Stands.

A quality jack might run you $150 - 200.00.

3 ton Jack - Powerzone 380044 3 Ton Aluminum and Steel Garage Jack

Rhino Ramps are the best.

Or

You can splurge at Costco and spend around $1050.00 and get a portable hydraulic whole car jack. Quick Jack 5000. That will be my next "major" purchase once the turbos go.
