yes, true but very hard to put the Z on the ramps if the car is soo low that you cant put a low profile jack under it and barely be able to put the scissor jacks under it... lol
after all alot of us like to ride low...

You can put 2X4s leading up to the ramp and you should be fine. Ramps are good cause they leave no marks, and are damn near indestructable. And much easier to get the car up and down.

I lowerd mine with coilovers 1.25 inches in the front, and the same in the rear, and made a great investment if you choose to work on your own car, and shame on you if you pay somebody do install your upgrades. Home depot purchase a 2 x 10 by 12 feet had them cut 2 pieces 30 inches long, 2 pieces 22 inches long and finally 2 pieces 14 inches long...stack em up and nail em together my nails were just long enough that I had to just hammer em over a wee bit. I still have to use the 2 x 4s leading to my wood ramps, best $13.00 spent on the Z so far

i had the front on jackstands and i felt that it was going to roll back and that was on a flat surface too.
