How about a photo of alternate lift points on 981's. We all know the factory holes. The problem is if the factory holes are used to raise the vehicle how to get a jack stand in place unless you use alternate chassis point. Talked to Porsche today and they discouraged me from using the Fabspeed's rear center "jack point" saying the mini-I-beam may be too light to support the entire rear end.

I use these quite,a bit http://www.jackpointjackstands.com/http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1485538472.jpg
You can lift high enough to get under the car safely to access oil drain and filter, I used them to change plugs on my 987. they will not go high enough to drop the engine lol

Get a set of Lift Bars for the car; incredibly strong, you can jack the car to any height and still keep it stable:

Are those the Poken Liftbars, how vehicle specific are these? 986/987/981? What's cost?

You need to Google Porsche Liftbars for their website, which has extensive model figment information. We have one set that works on 986, 987, 996 and 997 cars.

That looks pretty cool. Works great if you want to lift high on both axles.

Incredibly well made and rock steady, even when the bottom of the car's tires are 24" off the ground on 6 ton jack stands. Super for working at the track.
