Replacement jack points

Who makes replacement jack points. I don't want the OEM's. I have not been able to find any when I do a search.

Those are OEM pads. Perhaps I need to make something myself. Good weekend project.

I don't know of any direct replacements but you can get these as an adaptor to save the plastic. I am thinking of getting but I need to know if it'll clear the jack since my car is really low.

I have this pad and the one for jack stands. I'll be at SP Main this weekend. I'm not planning to bring jack or tools this time, but I'll bring the jack pads if you let me know.

adding: you only need about one inch clearance between the jack and car to fit the pad.

In order for me to fit the jack under the pads I have to dirve the car onto some 2x6's first. Even after that I can barely fit the floor jack under the pads.

It's part of the reason I need to replace the pads. I've torn them up a bit when jacking up the car.

What I want is some solid versions of the OEM pads. The OEM's are designed to be used with the BMW jacks. The lift arm fits in the holes of the jack point so it won't slip.

I have some two part urethane I can mix up. I think I'll take the pads off and pour some of this in the holes. Then when I put them back it will be equivalent of a solid pad.

There must be something I'm not getting. I have Performance Suspension springs, and I have plenty of clearance above the jack even with the Reverse Logic jack pad hanging down 3/4". Looking at the ad, I see my jack lowers to 3.5".

Gary,
I'm lower than you. PS springs are .5" lower than stock. I'm like 1.5" lower at front

Metal piece is 1" x 2" steel that fits into the oem plastic jack insert. Load is carry to the jacking point instead of the plastic if you used the puck only.

I cut off a section of 2 x 4 and that was that. I have a low profile jack, I sit the 2 x 4 stub on it, line it up in the right place, and go.

I get using something better / cooler but really it's all you need to do. Well it's all I needed to do.
