Default Ultra ramps bad!

Do not ever get ultra ramps! Can't get up the ramps without scratching car even with extensions.

Thought I would try them because they were almost free. Cost me a one inch scatch on the bottom left corner of car. The inside ridge of the ramp was the culprip.

Thank god its on the bottom and not visible except from underneath.

Rhino ramps work fine though.

Oil change was very easy to do.

does all the oil drain out when you use the Rhino Ramps? Cause the car will be tilted back or the oil pan will tilt when on ramps.

If I recall, the oil drain plug is located to the rear of the oil pan. Tilting the car make it much more convenient. I got the rhino ramps too. But damn, the Z is really low. I thought for a moment it wasn't going to fit.

I just changed my oil a day ago and the drain nut is on hte passenger side in the middle, not to the back of the car. Also have anyone seen the ramps from Japan? I saw a set in Option mag that are pretty sweet, but can't get them here.

Yeah, the drain plug is on the side.

You will never get all the oil out. Ramp or no ramp.

I actually drive mine up on a few 2x4's on the driver side only, this provides for enough clearance and she dumps her oil just fine
