"made from recycled Takata race belts...WTF?!


They're pretty sweet, but what good is it to raise the car a whole 3 inches?

i think they are to get the car far enough off the ground so you can get a jack under it

Your car is obviously not slammed enough.

I'm just saving up for a low profile jack. I don't see myself using those if I have a flat.
