I saw these things being used in Korea; those guys are brave!

The price is kinda high for a few bent bars of steel....

Did you guys see the low-level home lift that was featured here a few months ago; it was about the same price.

I am pretty sure the suspension components are NOT designed to handle that.

The unit passed all German safety standards and requires no maintenance. Only the battery needs to be removed, engine oil, transmission fluid, brake and washer fluid remain in the vehicle.

That thing is cool as hell!

I wouldn't follow their suggestion of leaving the oil and trans fluid in the car though. Oil will creap up into the cylinders and more than likely you'll leak trans fluid from the vents, especially on an A4.

In some ways, that might work better than a lift for some things. Sometimes working upside-down just sucks!

Interesting, but after you jack up both ends, remove two wheels and bolt these on, then roll it over (how do you do that?) sounds like more work than just using a set of jackstands or ramps. Not two mention storing them the rest of the time. Very creative solution, though.
