I would be more inclined to buy them (jack & stands) separately, the "pack" works out a little more expensive, providing they are exactly the same itmes.

I wouldnt have a problem with buying these 8)

haha the jacks are so crap. I used to have to jack the car up to full height on the jack, put jack stands under car, lower jack, put bricks under jack, lift to full height, raise jack stands etc.
F*cking annoying

Get a good jack, the one I have now is massive and lifts higher than the stands will go at full height by a long way :)

that powerbuilt one goes to 495mm height, which at a guesstimate seems high enough,
but starts at 138mm, better measure up the height of my sils when i get home..... probably wont fit under the caldina
