Default There is plenty of room underneath...........

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/87363/p1010008_2.jpg"></center><p>If you turn the car around there is even more room. Enough to replace the rear output seal and even remove the transmission. The exhaust slides out too. It goes to almost five feet, higher if you use the height adapters. That being said, if I had room for a two post lift thats what I would get.<ul><li><a href="http://eagleequip.com/page/EE/PROD/LI-LM/602-002">eagleequip.com</a></li></ul>
