jpoint,

can you post pictures of the low profile pad for the Cup car? If using the hole in the jacking point, then it will work with most Porches, Boxster, Cayman, all 996 and 997 street and race cars.

Per my previous post, I suspect this is what he's referring to:

In relation to the cost of stands you might pick up at the hardware store, sure little bit pricey. BUT if you look at how much we pad for rotors, pads, fluids, etc, it is not that bad, I guess it is all about perspective to me.

I think this product is a pretty cool concept.
That being said, it doesn't look like the jack stands are very tall. When I get under the back of my car for things like oil, sway bar or exhaust work, I put the car much higher on stands so that I can actually get under and see what I'm doing.

I went to imgt3's site, and it looks like they are saying 18" clearance under the front bumper of an M3. That is pretty high from the photos....

I'm in for a set of four (two "ultimate" kits) w/low profile pads to fit under Porsche, Brushed finish. Group buy pricing?

Having "jacked" around with different solutions to getting the car in the air and keeping it there (securely) I fully understand and appreciate the value proposition you are offering. Just bought two sets. Now I can throw my wooden blocks that bend my plastic underbody panels. Very elegant solution, especially for Porsche where the car is low and the jackstand loctions are challenging.

And congrats for the effort to bring such a solution to retail fruition. The world is a better place with high-quality innovators that can also execute.

Warren and Mike- you are The Men!

As the initiator of this thread I am expecting a pair of these stands under the Christmas Tree when I wake up in two weeks from tomorrow! (or at least a heavy discount on the purchase of two pair )

Don't forget about Warren also!!!
