SolaraSlayer,
That site is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
The only problem now is that I see several different ramps I could use for different things. I'll have to put them on my wish list.
Note that those ramps were a whopping $177!

I agree, 200 bucks after shipping is ALOT of money... You could buy jack stands, and a low-profile jack for that price...

only problem is, with cars like mine, you need a low-profile jack to get under all of the body effects. And Lo-pro jacks cost money

Is this always the way? You finally find the perfect product and the cost is out of sight. I guess the manufacture realizes they have a nitch market and can ask those prices. I'll keep the site on my favorites and hope for a sale. I'm thinking, if one company is making them, surely there are others we don't know about. If I find any body else out there I'll post it, if the prices are better.

Yah, you also have the same car style I do. It is tough to fit anything under that thing....

I'm not sure how much lower your cars are than mine (02 SS), but for me, I use Rhino Ramps that I bought from Wal-Fart -> http://www.rhinoramps.com/product.html. I have adequate clearance, but I made one change. The ramps came with rubber pads on the bottom, but they were pretty loosely attached, and I ended up losing them during my recent move. Home Depot caries a product called Plasti Dip that is basically a liquid rubber, so I painted about three coats on the bottom of my ramps, and it made a huge difference. The ramps used to slide out as I was backing off of them and they don't move anymore.

Hope this helps, good luck.
