Yes, the ZL1 addons lift points can be put on without lifting the car.
And to answer my own question, I went back and found the How It's Made Camaro episode. Lansing uses a carrier at/after marraige that holds the car very close to or right at the pinch welds, aft of the aluminum K member. Hard to see in this shot, but easier in the full episode. https://youtu.be/wY2uPpdtgY4?t=292 |

Hi Cal You will need some sort of puck to use these on the Gen 6, since without them the base of the jack pad point will be above the plastic body panel. Even setting a smaller puck in your jack would work fine as long as its thick enough. The rear will be fine, but if the front is low to get the jack under them, just make a couple 2 x 10s and angle one end so it has a ramp. You can also ad a bump stop very easy. I had to do this, since my lift will only go so low to get my lift pads under low cars. D |

Got it, I installed a set on my 1LE. They are a pain to install without the car up in the air, then I found they are almost flush with the plastic body panel.
1. They should have slightly longer set screws with a hex head to get to them. 2. They should hang down at least a 1/4" lower. Just experience with those PS ... Dont get me wrong those are top quality, just need a couple tweaks to be perfect. D Last edited by dw760; 04-05-2018 at 02:51 PM. |

I make motorcycle performance parts for a living, and seriously thought about producing a set like my finished set here, but not sure I will mess with it. This combo is sweet, with the proper diameter and height to clear everything, and are very stable. |

There are several different adapters available at Amazon, with different slot depths. Is there something I should be looking for? I would think the idea would be the pinch weld would sit on the white nonmetal part and the depth should not be too deep so the car doesn't sit on the metal sides of the adapter? Is it possible for the slot depth to not be deep enough? I was looking at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Why reinvent the wheel, the set Im using work perfect and the car sits on the nylon. My set also has the magnets about flush with the nylon surface, and thats what you want. D |

Looks like the slot in yours is 0.63" deep, 0.385" wide
The one I was looking at is 0.55" deep, 0.47" wide I'm guessing either depth should be OK for our cars; might be an issue for pinch welds that aren't as tall. Not sure if the wider width would have any negative effect on stability. |
