^LOL. This is the jack I'm getting as soon as I get back home. It's only 2-5/8" at its lowest point. I think that will fit under my car hehehe...

^i do not. i searched for a while and stayed with the one you posted.
it's close to fitting...but still won't.
guess we weren't meant to drop our cars so drastically.

I am at the lowest point where my jack will JUST fit...I have the blue anodized racing jack...BUT, I have 19's, which I think helps me out a little bit. When I jack the front, i have to shove it past the air diffuser..and on the front side jack points, the jack slightly hits the sideskirt before lifting the car.

Ok so I just bought some HT Spec Type 1 coilovers. It was a impulse buy and I don't know much about coils. I am super excited about installing them but first I need proper size rear tires.
I have type s wheels and I want my car to be low as that members car is....I am wondering what kind of spacers would I need when being that low? Should I get a rear camber kit if I am that low....., and how do you "adjust" height on coils...no idea I am a newb.
Thanks

Spacers are not required but recommended so you don't have the "sunk in" look (HellaSunk lol)
I had 15/20mm front & rear, while natural camber may be enough, you might have to roll your fenders all around.
Alot of members are not running camber kits, but I would recommend the Ingall's rear just so you have adjustments to camber and toe. being that low, you may not want all the natural camber that comes with lowering.
The rear camber arms are easy to install/adjust and fairly cheap, so why not? And when i aligned my car I had -.5 camber front and -1.5 camber rear, which seemed to work for me because i rolled/pulled the fenders
Coils should come with height adjustmant instructions. Most, you just loosen the bottom locking nut and adjust larger top nut (the one that is sandwiched together with the smaller nut).
I do not have those coils so i cant say for sure. Good luck on install and YES, the car you posted has a sexy stance!

for the HT's...the adjustment is to the entire shock assembly since the compressed spring stays the same. I had megans with a similar set up and never really understood how to do it (with my rsx, i too was a newb).
to be that low, start off with no spacers and natural camber...then see where you sit and do your rolling and add spacers as necessary. the only different advice I'd give to 05^ is to get the spc upper camber arm rather than the 2 lower ones. I hated them, the shop wasn't good with using them for aligning and I didn't like how it brought the bottom of the tire IN and not the top OUT...making it MORE sunken in.
I'd say that you can go low, roll, get camber close to oem spec and rock a 20mm rear spacer and 15 or 20 up front without a problem.
