These are only about 0.185" taller, so less than a 1/4".

OK folks. I received mine at my office today. They feel very stout and look awesome. As often as I have my car on jack stands, I am thrilled with the end product.

Here are some images to help understand the install process.

1. Place the screw through the jackpad and get the custom nut started on the threads a couple full turns only.

2. Align the nut so that it can be inserted into the slotted hole in the chassis of the car, bring the jackpad and screw/nut up to the chassis while holding the jackpad in one hand and holding the head of the screw in the other to keep it from moving.

3. Once you have the nut and screw up into the chassis you need to rotate the screw and nut 90 degrees and then let it lower and engage the formed boss inside the chassis. The nut has grooves in the bottom that help it lock into place and not rotate. But you need to tighten the screw "while holding or pulling it down" or at least not pushing it up. If you push it up it will all just spin freely and not tighten. Make sense!

Pad in place, nut fed through the chassis.





Rotate 90 degrees and lower into place, then tighten without pushing the screw "up".

^Thanks for providing that, it answered all my questions about the install.

These came out great and look even better in person.

I got around to installing these yesterday. I could not be happier. The OE plastic jacking points were seriously not up to the task.

I just ordered a set. I'm really looking forward to not having to align and then realign pad adapters when lowering my car onto stands.

Not questioning the beauty or quality, but for me it came down to price. The initial indication was "a full set would likely be over $200". In my mind, right or wrong, that meant "around $200". When final pricing was announced it was just more than I wanted to spend. I would venture to guess that several others felt the same.

This. And also timing. There were no indications of when or how many set will be available for sale. So I spent my money else where, plus holiday season was just around the corner. Then when it became available and the price was almost double what was estimated.

I bought even though I may end up selling my car this year. My thought process is this. I changes wheels/tires quite often (20x a year) between various sets for competition, making adjustments, etc. So paying more for these over the POS plastic units was very acceptable. The people who don't have to do this, may have thought otherwise. It's still worth it IMO but this illustrates why you don't have folks fabricating up high quality shit for people on the forums as when it comes time to put their $ where their interest is, their commitment wains.

Guys, buy now! This is a great part. The guys at the shop love it, I love it. I jack up my car quicker now at the track, it's a nice quality of life adjustment.
