Check with your Mazda dealership, they should be able to still work on your car.
Mine has S-Techs + Koni struts and they've never said anything.

they're mechanics, if they can't figure out a way to lift up your car...they don't belong in a shop. (wow, that sounded similar to dom toretto)

mine's hella lowered and i roll it up on blocks of wood, jack up the rear underneath the diff., swing the lift arms underneath, voila...car is on the lift! it quite some work to get a car in a lift.
