Ran across an ad for Liftbars in Pano, I believe. Anybody on the list have these or have used them? Would like to get some actual user input on them. They seem like a great solution to doing a no-damage list on a 993. Thanks in advance.

I have a set that I use for my 964. I don’t have room for a lift so 4 identical jack stands and small race ramps is my solution.

 

I have a set I have used, very stable and secure on good jackstands. Very well made steel units.

 

I use them- a little cumbersome going back and forth from one side to the other but very solidly made and have worked well for me along with axle top Esco jack stands. Your jack points need to be in good shape; if bent or shifted out of place then the bar may not seat properly. Would also confirm the ones shown in the ad are specifically for 993 as the length varies by model.

 

Get a quick jack. They are amazing and they don't take up much more space than those bars.

Hi Jac,
I saw these and fabricated some homemade ones. They are great avoiding twisting loads on the body vs lifting sequentially with single stands. For oil changes you may need to remove the plastic rocker covers before lifting the car to gain access to the oil tank drain plug. If one has a 993 Targa avoiding twisting forces may contribute to the top not going out of adjustment or getting damaged.
The lift points on your car must be in good condition to use the bars so the ends will line up with the lifting foot alignment holes on the car.
I discuss the homemade version at the bottom of this page.

Seriously - QuickJack for the win. My garage is super space constrained, and even I was able to find a way to store the QJ in my garage --- and I use the QJ regularly. I know you are looking for feedback for the liftbar --- but if you spend a bit more you won't regret the purchase of a QJ.
