ZL1 addons mag pucks or lift pads (stealth)
Hey Team,
So I'm looking at getting a set but a bit torn between the 2. While I've seen the mag puck shift a big while lift a car, however the person was using a quick jack. The lift pads I'd sort of like to have delrin and I also don't see how they still doesn't put pressure on the pinch welds enough to warp them. Some also complain that the set screws aren't long enough. Thoughts? Help me decide. Thanks Johnny |

Get both. I've had no issues with the jack pads, just use thread locker. If I have to put the car on jack stands I use the mag puck and flat top jack stands.
The jack pads go on the rear pinch weld and most forward position in the front. Then I use the mag puck on the second pinch weld position and the stiffness of the alpha platform lifts up the entire side. The pads and mag puck do a good job of protecting the pinch weld from bending, that is it's main purpose.

No need for the pads at each corner. They are prone to slipping off jack stands. The puck works great in the center and lifts both front and rear at the same time.

One mag puck is all I need and been swapping my tires very quickly using it. I do have a set of the pads un-opened. I'll see what those stealth ones look like because I didn't want to use these with jack stands that could slip. Also, didn't want guys at the shop to use them and slip. I've seen the damage that causes first hand. |

I mainly want pads on the 4 corners for when the car goes in the shop but if the techs aren't familiar with how slippery they can be I don't want a screw up with some part I put on the car. The stealth flat ones may work better though. |

When lifting from one side only (forward most pinch welds) are any of you worried constantly doing this will cause flex to the chassis? I understand our cars are very stiff but I would think doing this year after year can't be good. Thoughts?
