I use the low profile rectangle pad that comes with the QJ on mine.

Hello all who own the quick jack. PLEASE look at the photo in the post just before this one. The quick jacks are backwards for this car. They need to be turned 180 and switch sides. The lifting position you see in that photo is for cars with the engine in front. Thanks and be safe.

Which photo? The QJ lifting the white Carrera is set up properly.

It absolutely is NOT! For all the front and mid engine car it is. I guarantee you, the way that car is set in that photo I could go to the front of the car and lift it up with one arm. The rear fulcrum is way too far forward if you spin them around and switch sides with them, the car will be 1000 times more stable.

I lift my 911 the same as 911Castle is mentioning - with the yellow/white label “facing the engine”.

However, I will admit that this was not on purpose for me — I’ve been lifting my Macan in this same exact orientation (meaning yellow/white label “facing the rear of the car” when lifting Macan). I can say that I have done extensive pushing under the Macan, even with a bottle jack to nudge up the transmission, and did not notice any instability.

Definitely use the quick jacks with the label facing the rear of the car. When I first tried with the front facing label the car rocked on the fulcrum easily. I have the newer ones with 24” of lift but doubt it matters.

Per the instructions, the setup with the hinge point (fulcrum) toward the rear is correct

Upcoming track season, I hope. Bought ahead of time as I think they will be hard to find.

This went ugly, awkward quick.

I am glad you shared it, looks great. How does it work that the "center lug covers" appear to also cover the 5 lug bolts? Looks you dropped it modestly on KW - any thoughts how the ride is? I also have a base and plan Techart HAS or KW HAS and wonder if there is any real pro/contra one vs the other.
