Looks like a nice jack in the linked page, and 90mm is a good height for most modern cars. Even my local Merc R171 with sports suspension would fit over that!

The plan is to test the low entry creds with my friends' lowered Mazda 3 MPS (sill skirts are a pain apparently).

Just remember to lift with the legs! Oh absolutely! They’re not exactly lightweight bits of kit….

Indeed, its a fair bit more secure feeling than my cheapo streetwize "portable" jack, and certainly feels like it'll lift the world.

Finally got around to lifting the car with the new SGS jack today.
Overall it was a very good bit of kit, the wide frame and low entry meant I could easily get it under the Focus and lift pretty centrally, and the wide jack pad made it very stable
The only downsides were the bulk compared to my cheapy jack (meaning I had to position the axle stands differently) and not quite having the same level of fine descent control with the rotating handle.

Got a 3 ton Sealey about 15 years ago, very solid bit of kit, and more recently a low profile Halfords jack which is very good quality
