Default Ramps, Lifts, and Lift Stands

I'm a one-year old owner of a2003 IS300 that's been lowered quite a but with a Tein coilover suspension and I want to start doing my own oil changes. What's my best option for lifting/raising it up so I can do the job at home? I was looking at ramps, but which ones would suit my needs without excessive weight and cost? Does anyone have any good recommendations, models, links or locations I can buy them at? I live in southern Orange County.

Also if anyone can tell me the easiest way to do an oil change on a 2003 IS300 please let me know.

Thank you

an actual lift is going to be your best bet. but most dont have that option as they are thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars.

i would just measure your clearance on your side skirts and front lift to see what jack will fit under it. and then goto your local part supply shop and see what they have.

look down the page a bit, someone asked the same question about how to do an oil change.
