Don't leave them in full time. ALways the chance you can bottom them out, especially if you're lowered. You'll need all four if you're taking her in for service and they lift it. They are a cheap safety measure so get the four. Alternatively, take a look at A&A's Frame Savers. IMHO this is the better way to go. More expensive yes but you no longer have to worry about

Mike sorry for the confusion Go here:

Look at information for "Rocker Savers"
The Frame saves (The wheels) are a great functional enhancment as well, which will help save the front frame from scraping.

I've got four of the BMW pucks in mine. I'm also lowered on stock bolts. I wanted pucks that would be in all the time. If I ever have a break down they are with the car- not in my garage.

Mine are not put on the car unless I need to jack it up. They stay in one of the rear storage bins otherwise.

Here the low profile BMW pucks and the front frame saver wheels. The BMW pucks, are great I've had them on for 3 yrs and used a number of times with no issues.

From what I have seen of the "rock savers", don't they have built-in jacking/lifting pads that basically cover up the holes you would put pucks in?
They're nice, but what happens when you need to have the car towed. I understand that is where they hook up to winch the car up onto the rollback.
