Love my Race Ramps
 
I really love my Race Ramps. They are nice and lite, not clunky and heavy like my old steel ones. And I can drive the box right up on them.

That looks great. I wish there were a way to get 4 of them under a car! Alas... I understand the challenge there.

Anyone tried these with a lowered car?

I don't see the point. Since you can only put them under one end of the car at a time and the car is therefore not level and your wheels/suspension is under load, what can you do with these? :confused:
Nice looking car by the way!

Well, if you're like me and have a sloped driveway...you can face the car uphill and back onto the ramps until the back end is elevated and the car is level. Then you can change the oil! :dance:

I've also (on a level part of the driveway) driven onto ramps, then jacked up the opposite end and placed it onto jack stands so that those wheels are unweighted while the car's level.

:) Fair enough.

I use them to change the oil and such. I wish I had a lift but it is what it is. Thanks about the car...its amazing how a 17 year old car can look and drive so well...:)

I do exactly this. I also just ordered the liftbar since my garage can't fit a regular lift. I think with a liftbar I can safely lift the car up high enough to do most DIY projects.
