If you're concerned about the quickjack being safe to use with the extensions, I've had my Boxster up on the quickjack for over 2 months and it's been rock solid.

Rob, actually my concern was not the use of jack points but more the way the quickjack raises and lowers the vehicle.

As I believe the quickjack raises and lowers the car in an 'arch movement' (not straight up and down) this means that when you want to lower the car it would slightly move forward, I am not sure if my explanation makes any sense.. :-(

Well in that case, when you lift the car it would move slightly back. So when you lower it, it'll move slightly forward to it's original place on the floor.
