Ramps
 
I'm looking to get a set of ramps to aid with oil changes and such. I've already seen Kaiser's oil change sticky, but I notice he also doesn't have the extra black plastic spoiler dangle doos either.

Anyone have a suggestion for ramps that might work better than others?

Race Ramps.

Spendy but they work.

Whoah, you ain't joking. Those look fantastic, but way out of my budget.

Make some wood ramps and cribbing blocks that can stack. Works wonders.

Got the idea from here:
Wood cribbing block DIY for raising the car in addition to jack stands | VW TDI forum, Audi, Porsche, and Chevy Cruze diesel forum

The ramps allow me to reach my front and rear jack points, then I raise the car and rest it on the blocks. Rock solid.

I used some Rhino Ramps..

Amazon.com: RhinoGear 11909ABMI RhinoRamps Vehicle Ramp - Pair (12,000lb. GVW Capacity): Automotive

If you have the sport front chin spoiler, it will rub, but meh, who cares about that thing anyway?

I just purchased a set of these tonight. Do they truly get the car high up enough to do an oil change?

Been using these for a year, 4 oil changes no problem!

When space is a premium, a few 2x8, jack and Jack stands work well. They take the least space and get the job done.

I really like the idea, but I feel the same way. I already don't have room for the extra set of wheels I have. These blocks would take up even more space.
