anyone know where to buy 4 cheap ones? (and maybe the jack up thingie as well)

disclaimer:
1. This isn't exactly an Civic part AND its not a Non-Automobile good. so its somewhere in between.
2. This isn't a WTB (but if someone has extra.. then sure i'll buy em off u), but yea anyone know of a cheap place to buy them?

My jack and 2 stands was under $100 from Walmart. They are good enough for changing tires and basic stuff, but I wouldnt trust them to be crawling around under the car. If thats what you need them for, spend a few hundred and get good ones.

Lol I don't follow either buy anyways, spend the money, but something good. I bought a cheap 2.5 motomaster jack from ctire, now its grabbing air and doesn't want to pump. Yeah you gonna crush your bank but its not wasting money, tools and stuff like that is an investment in a long run.plus safety comes before $
