    I also have the Harbor Freight special and it's worked well for the dollar, i'm not that slammed though.

    If I had $350 to burn on that Omega (rounded up, sorry) DAMN thats the jack of all trades.

    ..oops

    That's why 2x6's are recommended, you could even do them with 1x6's, you just might have to stack 3 of them to get it high enough to get your jack underneath.

    Cut either at a good enough angle, and any car should be able to get up on them fine.

    A good idea, make sure each step is long enough to let your wheels hit and raise your lip over the next step.

    harbor freight generel. That thing fit under my slammed vrsex mk3. Also 2x4s come in handy. I have to put all 4 cornors on them to get on the lift its really annoying.

    Something like this, just don't go 4 high, you could easily do 2 high, and have plenty of room to get your jack underneath:

    Harbor Freight steel jack. They sell a bunch of Low profile jacks but make sure you get the one with the lowest height. I got the steel version over the aluminum one because it was lower by 3/4". Cost was $100 but it's worth it. Works very well to get lowered cars lifted high in a hurry. Weighs a lot compared to the aluminum one but I just use it around the garage anyway. It's not a big deal.

    I also have the harbor freight special. It clears the front subframe but not my 24 valve pan so I need to be careful how I orient the jack when lowering the car back down.
