    BMR wants 179 for theirs. I was looking under the car and I don't see an easy button to get on jack stands. First mod on my 04 was sub frame connectors for jacking help.

    Agreed. I'm going to wait for another sale to pop up. I have Steeda springs and shifter crap sitting here.

    I just got these installed. Quality and finish looks good. First off my car had a bunch of seam sealer where the front mounting point sits. So I had to remove some to ensure the rail contacted the area flush. I used blue Loctite on the bolts. I am somewhat disappointed that these rails do not go further back. Jacking from the most rearward point gets the front and rear tires off the ground equally. There is no way to just the rear tires off the ground via jacking on the rails. I guess these rails would be ok to rotate tires, but they can not be utilized as a contact area to get all 4 wheels off the ground via jack stands. Jack stands would have to placed well aft of the rails. It would be nice to have a jacking rail that extends back to the aft jacking point.

    Well Steeda provided this picture. I personally would still like the aft stand further back.

    Putting a single stand on the most aft position still places both wheels off the ground with a slight tilt forward. Going back 1 foot to where the BMR rails would stop still places both wheels airborne with more of a forward tilt. Going back to the factory jack point results in the rear wheel off the ground only. From a safety and center of gravity standpoint I would not be comfortable with the car on 4 Jack stands without the aft stand utilizing the factory Jack point. There are two open threaded holes in the factory location. It would be nice if someone made a long set that went the extra 2 feet. So these are good jacking rails. But when 4 Jack stands are required I will be using the aft factory location for the stand.
