They use the factory lift points and provide a single central lift point for each side so you can safely jack up the car and put it on stands while only supporting the weight through the appropriate points.
@Robertsmania That is interesting. How was the stability while lifting each side and while up on the jack stands? I am interested as I will start doing my own oil changes this coming year after CPO is over as well as other maint. in the future, e.g., brake pads.
So far my impression is that it is VERY STABLE. You need to be on a smooth, flat, level surface and the jack needs to be able to roll easily as it lifts the second side. But so far I have been impressed with the product and the process of lifting the car. I have only gone to the minimum height for my jack stands, but from what I understand you can continue to go back and forth lifting it higher if needed, but I would go in very small increments.

Great. My garage floor is in a new house and is epoxy coated so should meet the requirements. Thank you very much for posting and the additional info!

A couple days ago I got a fancy alignment. Corner balance the coilovers, even up the camber and remove a bit of toe. So far it is nice but don’t have a track day for two weeks.
They use hub stands for easy access and accurate repeatable results. They used shims to widen my front track a bit more, 16mm of shims per side and then brought the front struts out to match.
-3.2 /-2.7 camber
1mm front toe out, 0.5 mm toe in per side in the rear.

Started to play with custom tuning my DSC sport controller. The main reason that got me started is that I have fitted stiffer springs and the car feels under damped now.
The main reference I am using for the directional changes is this you tube video from @enzotcat and some related posts on Rennlist. If any of you have experience or helpful references for me to check out please post up.

Got my Cayman windshield replaced at Porsche Des Moines and had them install an Xpel windshield covering. Even though the cracked windshield and pits came only from driving on the highway I decided it would be smart to cover the expensive front eyeball screen - dang things are expensive and I don't even need mine recalibrated. I had the windscreen covered on my 2008 Viper ACR well over a decade back ( no real product then, just had a custom one done with 3M ). I will drop a review sometime in 2026 but I am pretty convinced this is a smart mod for not much money considering the cost of Porsche front glass. My wife did not even count it as a Christmas or Birthday gift -- surprising as she already got me a new set of Apex forged wheels, ha!
