we used one last week on the R32 and it worked like a champ...though I was tempted to put the whole car up on it, but it was all we had besides the emergency jack.

anyway, that's a nice jack, I'm have to consider one of dem

Default LOL! I know you are asking the other BD, but I actually have...

...a Torin aluminum race jack that I bought from Northern Tool a couple of years ago. I just have not tried to use the jack on the car with the new RS6 sides. I was just checking to see what others have used.

Default The jacking points are the same, but the RS6 sides hang down further...

so they may get pinched by some jacks. I like cL's idea of putting a hockey puck in the cup to get extra clearance. I may do that myself just to avoid scraping from metal to metal contact.
