Not a problem with the airbag car and height controller For cars without height control I have a couple of carefully calibrated (read 'found lying around and they worked') wooden planks. Not pretty but it does work.

i think the available car ramps are all a set size so ones that fit under the soarer will need to be custom made. i luckily live on a slope and my mates houses driveway goes flat the down so you can put down the ramps and practically drive flat onto them, if that makes sense, but yeah the only other way would be planks of wood.

For my friend jeff’s car (which is very low) we have a set of regular ramps and then another 2 piece set which we use the long bits from to make the angle less and then a small plank of wood in front of that. That works

Suggest you make up a couple of flat steel ramps with a hooked front on them, which will hook over one of the braces on the SuperCheap ramps and allow the front to be lifted enough to clear the ramp, by giving your car a flatter run onto the ramp proper. Alternatively, make up your own ramps by sawing pieces of railway sleeper at an appropriate angle, stacking them and bolting them together to get enough height. I made up a set for my 300zx and they worked fine!

I just bought a set of the Supercheap ramps (the red '4wd' spec ones, not the •••••• cheap blue ones) and provided i anchor them properly i have no problems driving the car onto them.
I should mention though that i dont have the front spoiler lip, and also i set the suspension to high to get extra space under the car.

A little trick with ramps too...tie a rope around the bottom of the ramps and back to the rear wheels. If the car tries to push the ramp instead of drive up it, the rears wheels will be on the ropes and stop the ramps from sliding forward.

I have Supacheap ramps and they fit under my car. I have a stock front and I set the airbag suspension to "High". There's just enough clearance for them under the front.
