How do you guys do it?
I'm thinking about getting kit, but do i have to take it off every time i want to change tire or life the car up?

you can take it off like an idiot or:
- buy a low profile jack (best route to go)
- drrive on wood planks and use regular jack
- buy a ramp that clears the front bumper and use regular jack.
pretty much common sense really. =p

nope you shouldnt have a problem. i can get the oem jack under the side without a problem to change wheels. for the front i use 2 scissor jacks on the sides and lift the car up(with help from another person) until i can get the hydraulic under the front to jack it up

I was worried about getting stuck in the middle of nowhere with oem jack only

If it can fit thats good. But i guess i won't be able to use stands in those spots where i use oem jack.
Little offtopic. I just got cai and going to install in on sun. Do i have to take whole bumper every time i want to clean it?

I have a low profile racing jack at my uncles garage I use.
Even this is too high.
After cracking a side-skirt setting the car back down,
I have learned to drive my car up on 2x4's on both the front and back tires.
I just keep two 2x4's in the garage and it makes things pretty easy.

It took me two home made ramp designs before i got my setup right, depending on the design.. my Accolade kit was only a few inches off the ground so you have to be careful, as you can see in this pic there is not much clearing on kits.. ![Frown](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/frown.gif)
