Pretty much anything will do, but you need to factor in the height of the jack pad so something low profile is going to be order of the day for a 911. I use a Clarke one that I picked up as an ex-demo for very sensible money (though even new they are fairly reasonable). If your jack isn't low enough then you will have to jack up the first wheel and put a lump of 2x4 under it to create the clearance needed for the jack pad.

Gosh they do look good
Cannop said:I bought 4 of them with the low profile pads last month, with the import duty it came to a total of £820.43!
So £210 per corner but worth every penny, my 911 can be off the floor and securely supported in less than 5 minutes.

Appears to work but I'm not sure about using a screwdriver to operate the jack!
Presumably with slight adaptation the space for the jack would accommodate a trolley jack pad for a quicker lift?

This video also appeared on one of the follow-up replies. My only concern here is that the 'mechanic' is wearing nail varnish...

Hope both links work and apologies if already on this site.
