What do you think is the best work ramps for the S197?
I'm lowered BTW.
I'm trying to do some exhaust work on my car to save money, and to make things easier over using just a jack and jackstands I was looking for a good set of ramps with as much clerance as possible for this. Ive heard of a lot of people having problems particularly with the front bumper. Which model actually works best with your cars?

none of the ramps work with a stock gt bumper...the lip is just too low...for the rear its not a problem though...use jack stands in the front...and ramps for the back.

I have ramps I bought @ autozone they work fine. Stock Height Stock Bumper......My father bought a set for his Corvette but what he does is he uses a piece of 2x10 wood infront of the ramp so the angle of approach is greatly reduced. He doesn't scrape.
So I'd try that.

I bought a set of ramps from WalMart that work fine with my car, you need to be carefull not to go up on or come down from them too fast because there is only like 1/4" clearence between the bumper and the ramps. When I need to put my girlfriends Beetle on them I just have her drive on a couple planks of wood before she gets on the ramps.

ORIGINAL: Riptide
I'm just gonna get a set of rhino ramps and then stick them under the front end after using a floor jack to get the car up first.

But my stock height GT goes right up my Rhinos with no drag.

I'm paranoid about going off the end of the ramp. It's not a very long level surface. That's why I want to jack the car up and just stick the ramps under there.
