Thanks both for the info. Have a low jack & wood ramps made from 2"X10"s for my current cars. When I saw the picture in post #2 was looking to see if it had center line pickup points for a floor jack.

$4 for each hockey puck and a $1.50 for each screwable eye bolt is all you need - make your own (4 of them) and toss them in the back of the car when needed. Took me 15 min to make and I have been using the same set on 4 different Vettes for almost 3 years now...

I bought this set from amazon so I didn't have to worry about making them and they stay in.
NOTE: I have side skirts and they are required to get the car up. however, the gaps in the skirt are smaller than the plate on the jack for the back. So when i jack the car, I put a board on the jack and it touches the puck before anything else and barely barely clears the side skirt. The front, the gap is big enough that I can allow the plate to tough the puck directly as the cutout for the front jacking area is bigger than the rear. So if you want to avoid doing this, I would buy two sets and stack them.

>>>But those are not leave-in correct?<<<
They are not meant to be left in full time, and in my opinion extend too low to be safely used that way. But they have a provision to be tightend up securely if, for example, you wanted to drive to a dealer with them installed.

Correct, as I don't want leave-in pucks as:
#1 - 90% of the time my C7 is going to be jacked, I'm going to be jacking it and it only takes me about 2 seconds to twist in a puck.
#2 - the 10% of the time when someone else may be jacking my C7 they are going to be smart enough and responsible enough to install the pucks I supply them or they will not be jacking my C7.
#3 - I don't want to take the chance of a 'leave-in' puck flying loose and damaging the side of my C7. Happened to a buddy of mine.
