I bought a pair from HF, then went back for the other pair.  As with so many
things from HF, they were a "kit" : I had to
disassemble and clean up flash, correct clearances, etc. plus lubricate then
reassemble.  The result was quite nice, IMO.  Biggest
problem was that the car would frequently move when I was not expecting it
to!

A lot depends on your floor surface, obviously.  I've got smooth concrete; 
any
kind of texture is going to make it much harder to
move the car.  I also had a relatively light (likely under 2000 pounds) car 
on
them.
