Jacking pucks
Has anyone purchased jacking pucks from EBay, if so what do you think of them considering cheaper than Paragons?

I've used the same BMW pucks on C5's, C6, C7 and low and behold my C8. Put them in and forget......

I got 4 from EBay for less that $30.00. Red billet that can be left installed. Why pay so much more for something people have to get on all fours to see?

same here. i'd venture to guess that they are 'the same' just well branded by Paragon (=more $).

Many of the items sold by Paragon can be purchased for half the cost on Amazon or Ebay which are pretty much all sourced from the same suppliers!

Bought from ebay. Works on C8 and C5. Inexpensive, ticket for more protection. Used multiple times with no issue. Remove and keep them in the trunk.

I have also used BMW jacking pucks in two C5s and now my C7. Works great at a decent price.

Yes, Amaz Red ... because my wife wouldn't let me have any more of her hockey pucks - we use them everywhere since she is not on a hockey team anymore.

Much like race teams do, I also added reflective arrows underneath at each jackpont to avoid any confusion, anywhere.
