I really like that set-up. Seems like it would work even better than most on the market, and is a lot cheaper too! Good work.

I use the Rhino ramps as well. Now that I have the V-Limited front spoiler, I have to use two pieces of 2 x 8's in front of the ramps to raise the car a bit before rolling up the ramps. Works like a charm. I would think this would work with anyone's car no matter how lowered it is.

The new 2 piece Race Ramps are hot.... Race Ramps by Brute Industries - Welcome to our store! - 56 Inch Race Ramps 1 or 2 piece sets

or the "Sport Ramps", which are cheaper, but it doesn't look like they would be V Limited Lip friendly... Race Ramps by Brute Industries - Welcome to our store! - Sport Ramps

I got some Tomioko (sp?) low ramps from RCE a while back. They get the car up just enough to do some minor work under the front (e.g. oil change, etc) and give plenty of room to get a big jack under there.

Plus they were only like 80 dollars

i haven't felt unsafe on the ramps yet. I have no problem sitting in my car while the ramps are under the tires but I always feel like stands are going to buckle at some point.

Plus, with stands, you have to be able to jack it up somehow. This means you need to jack up each side and place the stand one by one or have a floor jack to jack up one end at a time. with the ramps, you drive up and you're ready to go. no positioning of stands, jack up/down to get it just right, etc.

I think I picked up my ramps at a local Autozone for $30.
