How much money have you got and what do you need them to do? Oil change?

Machine mart do a set which are suitable for tyres up too 245 width with extensions if your low for about £50. All the eBay one's aren't wide enough they're too slim. I have a set of caravan levelling ramps which are plastic and quite low but really easy to use. Can pick them up online and in halfrauds for about £25

Depending on your construction expertise, why not build a pit?

A buddy of mine bought a new house with a drive in garage. He cut a rectangle from the centre a few inches either side of the internal wheels and dug down before lining it.

He also has a removable cover for when it's not in use.

These are good for low riders and extra height lift.

I would say that even with stock ride height youd struggle to get up those.

There are actually great as I've used them.
A friend has a set and my old 40mm dropped tt would ride up them without issues but that was before fitting my LCR lower splitter to the votex front spoiler which would then get caught.

If someone does get these, post some pics of the clearance of the front lip as i'd like to get some.

I was thinking about making my own.  :scared: My welder has been sitting in the box for 6 months.

I'm almost certain mine wouldn't get up them. TT different car.

I like these but don't think this company is trading anymore.
