Default Griots Garage Low Profile Ramps

I did a search and didn't find anything so I'll go ahead and post. Has anyone used or seen these ramps?

http://www.griotsgarage.com/search.j...x=0&search.y=0


It looks like what I've been looking for. The ramps I used for my last car look to scrape my Z so I decided not to use them. I had been getting discount coupons in the mail at my dealer for oil changes so it hasn't been too bad. I'm going to get these ramps and now it looks like I can start changing my own oil. I feel the more you can do for your car yourself the better.

Those definatly don't look low profile enough for my lowered g35 and a top secret front bumper.. I tried building ramps out of wood but scrapped that project.. Doing like a stair step.

Those griots garage ones look cheap, I like the other ones posted. My car is lowered like 2" and it fits under a jack. I just take the head off of it(the big bowl looking thing with slots), and use the flat section of the jack to raise it.

I use these to change my oil, but my Z is not lowered or anything. No scraping.

If you are at stock height (not lowered) Rhino Ramps work well. The bottom of the front bumper section j-u-s-t clears. (If you have a lip, maybe not.) I purchased mine at WalMart for maybe $30

The Takata's actually aren't low enough for my car anymore

I am now using these:

cheap and functional, only about 2-1/4" off the ground and gets the job done for ~$20 each

damn, my firewall at work blocks the link. Takata ramps no longer work for me either without bumper removal or a helping hand to lift the bumper over the ramps
