4" thick slab and no more than 1/4" slope per 4", that is for my bendpak. I think those numbers are correct

The weight is distributed over a large area with the 4 posts. I love mine.

oh and i didnt bolt mine down and it is solid. you can even get a caster kit for moving the lift (no car on it) around the garage. I hard wired mine to breaker box but you can easily toss a plug end on it and it would be "mobile".

I have a load of space under the Z right now with the ceiling height as is.

yea idk i always liked SUVs and living in PA they are useful sometimes.

Funny you said that... yesterday was actually looking how the GTR sales market looks like....Im surprised the Nismo GTRs still at 100K+

The 09’s are down to 45K to 49K with 20K + miles.

Not gonna lie, that picture made me a little bit happy in the pants.

We’re an end unit townhouse so our slab is either 6 or 8” thick since foundation code here for multi unit vs single family. Sounds like I’m gtg if I raise the ceiling.

Actually, the garage may only be 4” thick with the house being 8” iirc, either way tho, should still be okay...

Swift springs and koni yellows will match or beat any of the lower end coil overs. We ran those springs and stock nismo shocks on our old nismo and it was very good on track.
