It works great!

Just be careful of the sharp ridges under the car ..... they will cut the rubber

Cool. Available in the states? But are the groove deep enough to accomodate the side sill or it's spongey enough to absorb it?

Not sure if they can ship it to the US, but you could try e-mailing them from their site:

Princess Auto

The grooves are fairly shallow, but I think it's more that the load is spread over a flat 5" surface. I've been using mine for 4 years now with no problems.

Buy a hockey puck and take a hack saw and cut a slit across it so it allows the rails to fit inside and cushon the jack plate from bending it. Nice and simple and should be cheap depending on how much pucks cost.

I use hockey pucks, but never bothered to cut slits in them. I first experimented on my beater to make sure the pucks don't cause any damage. The pucks are hard, but are pliable enough not to damage the rail.
