Default Putting car on lift

I literally just heard of hockey pucks for my 997.... I've been using a 2 post lift for most of my work with built-in rubber pads, and it seems like it's been fine. I haven't noticed any issues and it seems like it lifts super normally with no bending or touching of anything it shouldn't (anything besides the jack points) -- should I be concerned? Should I buy four Porsche hockey pucks? They seem pricey for something that seemingly doesn't help me at all. The only thing I think it might help would be if I need to remove some of the liner underneath, it might make it easier to get to a couple of the screws.

I don't know why you would need them, you have rubber pads. That is the point of the hockey puck, it is to put rubber between two metal parts. Not all jacks have rubber pads and if you put metal on metal... bad things will happen.. they will slip.

Place the rubber pads so they just reach the inner part of the jacking points and you'll be able to remove the panels with no troubles.

As Bruce said, as long as you have rubber on metal you are fine. Just never have metal on metal.
