Which Car jack and jack stands do you use?
I looked online but too many mixed reviews so I'm wondering what my fellow Camaro owners find reliable.
Also, do you use a specific rubber block?

Same here. Rubber chocks also from Harbor Freight.
I use a hockey puck as a jack pad on the jack and the ZL1 Add Ons magnetic jack pad on the pinch weld.

Just wanted to let you know that you actually saved me about 80 bucks because Harbour Freight was having a sale that ended last night and I ordered a jack for half of what I was willing to pay and then jack stands on top of that.
Thank you, Glen. I am actually looking into what to use on the jack. I want that magnetic jack pad but it's almost as much as the jack I just bought haha. Maybe another time.

I'm a user of the ZL1 magpad pad. Great investment.

Keep an eye open, sometimes they pop up used. Check your craiglist or other web seller sites, I picked up 3 for $75cdn.

Made our own adapters for the pinch welds out of some superstrut we had laying around. The ZL1 Magpad looks awesome, the price tag on it made me cringe though.

Yes, they are a bit pricey. Nice product though.

Thought about making my own. Has anyone tried just a puck?

HF low profile long jack. Standard jackstands. ZL1 pad and adapter. The latter also works on my VW's so has been handy for a number of vehicles.
