Ramps?

hockeygoalie35 · 10-25-2021, 04:21 PM

Got any suggestions for ramps for oil changes? Rather not use steep ramps and 2x4s like my F32.

Are you aware your first 3 years of changes are free?

I am, and will taking advantage of that

. However at some point I'll probably being doing a stage 1 or stage 2 upgrade by myself, and if the intercooler needs to be upgraded, ramps are a good way to get under there.

Says they are 10 degrees angle of approach.

These are the ones I got. Race Ramps.

2-piece design with a 10 degree incline. Perfect low profile. They are a bit pricy, but worth every penny for my purposes.

You probably need two sets.

I have race ramps. They don't get the car high enough IMO and will be tough on lowering springs. I recommend the QuickJack. Pricey but is like night and day. I don't think twice about going outside to lift the car for even a trivial adjustment.

I have heard the popular quickjack 5000 series has trouble reaching the jack points on the g80. They make an extended version for long wheelbase cars, but then you can't use it for smaller sports cars.

Does anyone know if any quickjack models would work for example on both a Porsche Cayman/911 and a g80 without having to position the jacks sideways? I tried searching but am having trouble.

The car is so long now it can't use a quickjack?

Rhino Ramps are cheap, but do the job. Used them for years for all of our cars, including the Vettes.
