At 380 Euro I might be using the wood & 2x4 method ![Wink](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
There was an earlier quote in the thread around $200, I will have to take a look at that and see if there are "hidden" costs with the jack.

I've had this one for over a year and I have been pleased with it so far:

My car was already lowered when I bought it so I'm not quite sure how much lower it sits than stock. I took the round disc (cup) off the riser and now the jack is about 3 3/8" high at low position. No problems getting it under the motor or any of the jacking points.

Just saw these over on the 997 board. The picture on the company website shows a 964 (so we know it works). Seems damn expensive for a set of stands. For a few hundred more you could probably get a mid rise lift. I'm on the fence. Don't know if its worth it.

Now this is what I was looking for from the 964 Rennlisters...something innovative. What is the pricing? Are these aluminum?
I know there is something called a MaxJax that is interesting as well. Portable with a lower ceiling height. Has anyone seen a live demo or used one of these?

I bought one of these from a Costco cash and carry here in the UK around 4 years ago. Arcan 3.5t low-entry trolley jack. It's very solid, very heavy and well built. I've been using it regularly and it's still perfect. I can hardly lift it but its rolls around the garage floor with no problems.
Even with a hockey puck on the pad it fits easily under the jacking points of my euro RS (which is quite a bit lower than a standard 964).
If you're the type who's happy to jack under the engine/gearbox it reaches all the way under and the handle on full travel doesn't even touch the rear PU.

If you don't need to carry it around, HFTools sells a steel low profile (2.75" minimum height) jack for $79 - 20% w/a coupon that runs in many auto mags and Sunday papers. Works well but its a heavy monster. That Omega jack that Vandit showed is nice too, but I'm too old to lift it.
