Your Opinion?
Not knowing much about pucks, got these.

What do you think?
Want to paint my calipers to go with the nice new rotors, so I got to get it up in the air.

Practice hockey pucks from Sports Authority for .99 cents each will do the same thing.

The guy on eBay has gone above and beyond the normal "Corvette Tax" pricing. Actually the bidders allowed it because they had no idea that these are available for dirt cheap prices.

Other than the hockey puck thing, the cheapest "real" C5 jacking puck I could find was about $30 for 2. This isn't the first time I found out I could have done something less expensive. Live and learn.

Not a bad price for 4 aluminum pucks. But as mentioned above, you can make a set of pucks much cheaper by using some hockey pucks and some eye bolts.

O.K.! I hear you. New Vette owner still learning. I checked his feedback on eBay, so I know I'm not the only C5'r that's bit.
