| I had to raise mine quite a bit to get the jack to go underneath my car which was a drive on type and also to do the brake testing on the rollers. | |

| Had to raise coupe for brake testing too, otherwise would have ripped front bumper and lip off. | |

| you will need to raise it .. as said brake testing on the rollers. the car will drop a good 3" into the roller.. just put some elecy tape to mark where it is know then you can drop it to were it was after the mot.. | |
