Yes I have Steeda they are good, but always make sure both the rail and jack is dry before you jack, otherwise the car will slide of the jack.

But they make jacking the car easy, just be sure to let car down slowly because again risk of sliding off, you must make sure your jack is a low-entry type with rubber grippy pad, otherwise to much risk.

I shall be selling mine soon as I have finished all my work. :)

After much searching on 'tinternet, couldn't find any kind of 'jack pad' for rails. Rather than spend time fashioning my own out of wood, picked up one of these things off ebay for a couple of quid:




Fits on top of the normal jack pad, which I hollowed out for a better fit. Fits well on the rails and is it bit less scary.
