Default Need help deciding on which jack pad to get

I've decided to get a proper jack pad for the S4 instead of the make shift hockey puck I was using for my previous car.

I did some research and I see there are two recommended, the Eastwood Floor Jack Adapter and the Protech Jack Pad.

I'm leaning towards the Protech just because it looks rubber and I wouldn't need to worry about it scratching the paint / undercoating off.


Anyone have anything negative to say about the Protech?

I noticed that the Protech comes in two sizes, 1006 and 1007, anyone know which I need for the S4?

Thanks

I got the Protech from Pure Motorsports, size 1007. I just used it earlier today. No complaints at all after using it a few times.

I also have the 1007 3.5" one and like PhilH, have no complaints. I have noticed that the weight of the car makes it squish down a little bit (maybe .25") but doesn't seem to be a problem. Maybe the larger one (4.3") would be less likely to do that, with the extra .73" of diameter.
