Default Jack Pad Recommendations

It looks like the jacking points have a rectangular indentation for a jack to fit into. Does anyone have any recommendations for an adapter pad for a hydraulic floor jack?

I like the Poly ones like below the best, but you can also get them in rubber for less, or aluminum for a lot more.

I.e., search for "Universal for Audi Polyurethane Jack Pad Adapter"

Thanks. I just ordered one. Now I have 4 different adapters, depending on what vehicle I have to lift.

In a pinch you can use a deep 20mm socket. It fits perfectly in the indentation and gives a solid surface for the jack to rest on.

So far I can get both tires off the ground with 1 jack at one of the indicated jacking points.
I also bought a pair of the stainless "wheel stud guides". Makes it much easier, especially with the bigger heavier wheel tire setups.
