i wouldnt mind as much if they use a block, and it was a bad and desperate decision making on my half cause the pressure sensor goes on and off like crazy when i accelerate so i called a friend which is a mechanic and this is the place he suggests.

Here is my 370 on a similar lift -- one I use for all of the Z's in the family. This one has a rubber pad that runs the length of it and there is zero problem using it.

Yeah that's better but the lift on the right would be a nightmare lol. I would definately get stuck on it haha.

well my question is, is the weight of the car evenly distributed on both sides? having a lift with such a large surface can cause a lot of problems, especially when you put the weight of the car on the skirts

using the jack points will definitely make me feel easier

I have been using these type of lifts for more than 30 years and with dozens of cars (including my Z's both past and present, of all types) and have no problems.

That sucks... although the lift that I have is a giant pain in the *** to put my Z on. It will also bend the side skirts if not lifted properly. :-/
