I'm a bit tired of jack stands and 2 and 4 post lifts are a no-go in my garage due to space so what are people using for ramps? I've eyed these ramps on Ebay for a while. They have a good rise height of about 14 inches but I unsure if there is enough clearance with our cars being so low at the front. That's something I'm going to look into further. Pros and cons? Anyone using a Kwik Lift in the US?

Rhino ramps (or a copy of them) work on the rears on the csi kit:
But getting the front in the air takes a bit of messing about:

Messing about in what way, Timm?
I like race ramps but they are expensive. Various configurations but the long ones would work well for approach angle. They are very light. I have a lift now so they don’t get used a lot.
Agreed on the Race Ramps. I'm leaning towards 12" wheel cribs instead of ramps.
I use the Quick Jack BL-7000SLX. It works great.

Thumbs up on Rhino Ramps! I had a set of metal ramps in the past and they were junk. I recently purchased a set of the Rhino Ramps and have been very pleased. See photo - this is how I get around the low ground clearance.

I use the Rhino backed up by jack stands. Funny thing, I was backing up the ramps recently and needed to goose the motor. Well, you probably guessed it, the car came off the ramps after it shot them forward...car landed on the sill. No damage to the car; my ego has been compromised though.
