I've heard a hockey puck works pretty well. Just cut a slot into it and it should come out cheaper than those in the link.

Hmm, doesn't a thin block of wood work also?

Gang,

I took a 2X4 block of wood and cut it to fit my floor jack lift pad. Then I lowered the blade on my table saw and cut a 3/8 inch slot about 1/2 inch deep completely across the top. When placed into the jack lift pad and under the side of the Z, it lifts the car correctly to the height that I want and with no damage to the car. I did that about 7 years ago for My 350Z and I am still using it on the 370. It's cheap and you probably have the materials you need right there at home.

Food for thought...............

Save yourself some trouble and some money and go to a sporting goods store and buy a pair of hockey puck's. I use them all the time and their only a couple dollars.

Good idea, thanks.... But don't you still have to be careful where you put the wood block? If you put it under the front floor plan you will buckle it for sure. So do you have a tip for placing the block, please? TIA
