Buy the ramps.

I just drive one front wheel up onto a piece of 2x12. This allows access to the front jack stand point so I can place both front jack stands at the same time. Takes <5 min

Work smarter, not harder!

Race ramps it is

ChaseZ · 07-08-2016, 10:47 AM

What size race ramps are you looking at, 56"?

Yea. The 56 inch 2 piece versions and getting the 64 inch extensions since they're somehow $3 cheaper.

I think I might run over to the exhaust shop with the test pipes and see if they can do it without breaking an o2 sensor.

I think I'd have to take these off to be able to use any of the race ramps, only 1 5/8" clearance underneath

Like them though. And well pretty much need them so I don't trash my front end. Car isn't even really all that low,

2x12(s) to give you clearance and roll up the ramps.

I left the o2 sensors on when I took my cats off. Much easier to deal with off the floor. Came off no problem then.

Just let them scrape a little. They'll be fine

My front chin spoiler is still a champ and takes much more damage than those little air guides in front of the wheels.

Yeah, sort of defeats the purpose though. Especially if considering a few hundred bucks for specialty ramps and then still having to use 2x4's like I do now. I have to roll onto a piece of wood even to get my low pro race jack underneath.

Oh they scrape alright

And if they scraped the lightweight race ramps I'm guessing they would just push the ramps forward

Leingod · 07-08-2016, 11:04 AM

Hence why i am ordering the extensions also. No scrap at all at roughly the same height as yours.
