ZL1 Addons jack pads, which one??

Help me decide which pads to get and why....
Top is stealth $89 per set
Bottom is premium $204 per set
Appears the premiums would sit snug inside my floor jack cup

Bottom.
The premium is well worth it.

I've got both, but the premium is where it's at.

We see too far.

Uummmmm......I misspoke. I vote for the ones that mount to your car. I have both types and the mounted ones are the way to go.

We see too far.

The stealth are made in the USA to ZL1 add ons specs. Who knows the quality of the amazon ones.

I’m not china bashing as the have great tooling and manufacturing there. As good as you can get here

When we get crap “made in china” products it’s because the company importing ordered that way.

We don’t know the quality ordered on the Amazon ones....

I had the top ones. Worked fine. Bit of a pain to install but never moved.

LOL, you can spend as much or as little as you want on jack pads. I bought these https://www.amazon.com/Potauto-Unive...7Z62WMMG&psc=1 . I painted them florescent green. They work great…when I go for the annual state inspection, I point to the pucks and tell them that’s where you jack from, no where else.

The "premium" mag pad adapter in the bottom pic is not a set of four or six that stay on your car all the time. You get one of them for ~$60 and use it with your jack...and only with your jack. The "stealth" set in the top pic uses set screws to stay attached to the pinch welds all the time. Most people get a set of four and use them at the front and rear cutouts in the valance panels. You can set your jack under any of them to jack up one side of the car, and you can place jack stands under any/all of them to hold it securely while you work under the car. The two different things are used differently, and you could certainly have a set of four "stealth" pads as well as one single "premium" mag pad: you would use the mag pad in the middle cutout to raise one side of the car and then place jack stands under the stealth pads on that side.
