IIRC you witnessed the car being lifted before the bar was installed
(to get the jackstands under it).  I lifted it from one side at the
rear (you need a more "manly" floor jack! :D), and the whole back end
lifted pretty much equally.  For some unknown reason that 86 (now
Allyn's) was incredibly stiff - unlike any Scirocco I've owned, and
I've owned a shitload of them...

Later,

Mark.
