The lift in the background is the BendPak HD12SS. We purchased in 2006 when we started servicing GT's and it has been flawless. When we completed the construction of the new shop, we purchased the gray BendPak in the foreground. It is a current model - HD-9XW It has a 9000lb rating (plenty for our planned use cases). It is quite a bit taller than the older lift which makes it nice when storing a car because I don't have to duck to get under it. Ryan and I installed a dozen or more different brand lifts while we were members at Spring Mountain. IMO, BendPak is the top of the line - but also the priciest. I debated forever back in 2006 whether to but a 2-post or a 4-post... and ended up with a 4-post and couldn't be happier. What makes the lift is the Bridge Jack For working on and servicing GT's this is the cat's meow. I don't know what your timeframe is but BendPak typically has the best deals around SEMA and also on Black Friday.

Some shots from a spotter-photographer . Ran the car through a no-touch automated wash (*gasps*) to clean off the accumulation from the road trip to this event, but it is still dirty - shots do gives a good view of the stance.

Many sets throughout the country.
My car has over 3400 miles since putting them on in late 2023. They have seen the desert in summer, Michigan snow in winter, atmospheric rivers (with SUV's in guardrails), road trips daily routes, girlfriend ride approval, etc. They have also had seemingly constant ride height changes - currently at a LOW ride height setting and did a photoshoot with the car today, teaser attached.
There is a new damper adjustment knob since the original design, it cleans up the look with the clamshell open - prototype with different color attached.

I am used to the "factory ride" (stiffness). Can other owners with first-hand experience with these new shocks chime in about..."The ride is more firm than stock but very manageable"
Can they be adjusted to near factory ride/firmness?
I re-read the description and see "...think 911 Carrera vs. GT3."

The 911 vs. GT3 really is the best way to describe it. For reference, I have the front set to 5 clicks from full hard and rear are on the firmer end of the spectrum.
