I got mine from EliteEngineeringUSA.com - make sure that you get the double tall C7 ZO6 pucks.

I picked up a set from reverse logic. I carry them in the storage box in back along with my tire plug kit, fuel adapter and some detail spray. Never know when you need to get those bugs off

I agree with hairball, Reverse Logic pucks are very well made, light weight and fit great.

If you have side skirts you need the extra longs so that your jack doesn't crush them when you lift the car.

I bought four hockey pucks. They work great, a couple will be modified to put eye bolts in so I can hold them in place. I would never buy the ones that stay in, car is low enough already. Threw a couple in the trunk just in case of problems on the road.

My total expense so far $4.60.

Very high quality, I bought 4 of the larger/taller ones for use with side skirts. Very happy with them...

I agree. I think the stay in ones are dangerous.

Just think how much fun you would have had trying to jack the car up, if you had non run flat tires on your car, because the car would be sitting even closer to the ground because the non run flat tire's sidewalls had collapsed when they lost their air.
