you will most likely need boards. Rotary lifts are some of the lowest lifts on the market and they are barley low enough to go under a non lowered C6

My car is lowered all the way on stock bolts. My car has no problem clearing the Rotary 2 post lifts at the local shop, and thats with the 2x4 jack pucks on them.

You could always mount the lift recessed in the concrete a few inches in the correct position for your vette.

You would have to recess the area for the legs. On top of that, you'd have to recess them only in the position where you need them to be for the corvette.

I stack 3 pieces of 3/4" plywood in order to use my 2 post lift (SnapOn Wheeltronics lift). I did not want to recess my lift into the floor.

I find it easier to drive the C6 into lifting position, and using a jack, lift the front/rear enough to slip the small plywood sheets under the tires.

The lift arms have built in puck attachments.

My C6 is not lowered.
