You are right, it's a bad idea to cut the floor. But if you do, have to drill the side of the old slab and pin it to the new one but even that is not an ideal setup. Best is not to touch the floor, most garage floors are pretty thin to begin with.

I'm in for a group buy!!!!

I'm in for a group buy as well. But $1,700 CAD is too steep for me. Mid rise scissor lifts can be had for close to $1,000 in the US. I'd be happy to drive to Buffalo and pick one up to save a few hundred dollars.

Well I'm out. Just picked up crawler and a set of these: https://rennlist.com/forums/997-gt2-...ml#post8193714

Next step will be build a bigger/higher garage, and get a proper lift

The Stig

They look good. But what did the come to all-in? $900? Hmm. Cheaper than a mid-rise, but not buy much if you shop in the US. Really clever design though. I'm impressed, but on the fence

FFaust

Cost me less, but I bought some "used" pre-production units. Not cheap by any stretch but yes, quite clever, but more importantly, safe and easy to use.

Those are just fancy / expensive jackstands, I'm getting to the age where crawling and laying under my car isn't doing it for me... . I've seen Jim's and that the way to go.

Have a look at this: http://liftbars.com/ They are for 928s but if there is enough demand, Ken will make it for other models too. I think they are a better alternative to the jack lift ones.

Wow, I'm impressed

Hi, I am Chuck of IMGT3 performance. We're the distributor for this product and I'd like to point you to a link that demonstrates the functionality of the Jack stand.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0Sbl...er_profilepage

this is a direct link to our youtube video of an M3 being lifted onto the stand. The significance of this product and why it's so good and different from other stands is first, you put the jack stand in a factory Jack point while using a point to lift the car. Second, the cap connects in such a way with a factory lift point that it cannot slip once set in place. the base understand his oversized giving a great foundation And very good ground clearance. The stability of the car when lifted up on two or four of these jack stands is the best I have ever seen. My wife is even comfortable when I'm under the car, if you can believe that!

These are sold in pairs, and range from $289 - $369, less our member discount. If you have any questions please been free to PM me.

I must admit that is pretty cool , as it is a frustrating thing for me that on my A6 the only place to jack the car is where the jack stands should go . But i could put up with a lot of frustartion for over 300 bills US

In what way?

Ice... just get a scissor lift - your back will thank you for it.

I had my back surgery almost 3 years ago - I'm as good as I'm ever going to get - 2 post hoist installed last July = best tool in the tool box next to very large compressor and air tools. Mine was 2k installed.
