Thanks

I don't but have been looking at them as well as a low profile hydralic jack. I have a big floor jack that is to tall to roll under the front without hitting bumper cover. I have to use the smaller hydralic jack on one side to lift the car enough to roll the other one under it. I was thinking these might at least solve that problem.

I have a large low profile floor jack I am looking to steam line the oil change process in the driveway. As the days get warmer the Jacks and Jackstands will sink in the blacktop. I am also hoping the ramps are a little quicker.

Thanks again Osduck. Ramps work good.

Quick review. It is almost like they where designed for our cars. I do not think a RS would clear. Maybe a one inch drop would still work. For me its just enough for an oil change. The small incline allow for easy use. I was able to pull up the ramps from a dead stop with a stick.

I just sold my set a few weeks ago for 20 bucks. I didn't like them that much to be honest. It seemed like as if they buckled under the weight of my 2nd gen when I would pull up on them. The front of the ramps would bow out. I got a set of metal ramps for free from a friend that are really nice.
