I used to have the C-West sides on my car and I HATED jacking up the car. I couldn't use stands on the double weld, which is where I jacked the car up. Hopefully the apexi sides dont give you as much trouble as my C-West ones did.

I think my side skirts are RE Amiy. (however it's spelled). You would have to cut them out for jacking points. Mine are not cut out. I drive the car onto two stacked 2X pieces of lumber (front wheels), then use a floor jack to raise from there against the front of the engine sub-frame and hold it up with jackstands on the mini-frame rails under where your and pass. feet go. I don't know what I'd do if I had a flat (haven't had one yet). My sideskirts are easy to cut out, though. The under flap is not fastened to anything, and is flat.

You loose ground clearance on the sides with these as well. It would be "entertaining" to try to use the stock jack (my car is also lowered with H&R springs).
