I've had my Quickjack for a few years. I already sold my BRZ but it really makes doing regular maintenance on your daily driver super easy... if you have the space to move around.

Its all about whether you can move the Quickjacks laterally out of the way. Not everyone has access to a full garage, and for some a jackstand and floor jack setup would be better.

but otherwise I just can't get myself to consider the splurge on Quickjacks over jacks and stands.
No idea I have not had a BRZ since 2016. Maybe it sucks for the twins but for a lot of other things it was more useful than I ever imagined.

For example, on my S13 I lift the car on the frame rails with the blocks, I never have to compromise the underbody ever again.

I have 2 pairs of these and vertically store both the Quickjack and also the extenders vertically in my garage against the wall.

The bottom sits on the floor and the weight is mostly on the floor, the hangers just hold it against the wall.

Or when I get lazy I push them together so it sits between the wheels. It is low enough to where I can just drive over them when I park my car.
