Default Car Ramps

For all you guys that work on your lowered IS, where do you get your ramps? I know I can jack up but it is just easier to have a ramp. I have tired the ramps at Wal-Mart and pep boys but they just don't work. My front bumper rubbs on the ramp before the front wheels can get on it.

You need to put some wood pieces before you ride onto the ramps..that's the best way and probably the most logical way.


Just like this guy..with his viper and hom0 chrome stockies..

"Race Ramps". They are light weight and they work SO well. I use them on my Corvettes as well as my Lexus. They have many different styles and didn't seem TOO pricey to me. Well worth the investment. Just "Google".

I just got the wood and use the jack once I drive onto the wood. I'd rather have a little room to work.
