Anyone used Rhino ramps from Walmart?
Thinking of picking some up as they are like $30 a set and will do what I need since I can't get my jack under my car since it is lowered.
I am wondering though if the angle on the walmart ramps are too steep for a lowered S?
I have Eibach Pro Kit with Koni yellow shocks on lower perch so about 2" total drop.

I had a similar set. They work fine for the rear but the front required me to put 2 2x4's to extend the length of the ramps to be able to get the front end up. Overall, I like them because there's that measure of safety but they don't elevate the car enough to get under there and do any real work. Even an oil change is really tight.

I use my rhino ramps quite a bit, but not in the way you probably want. I have mine lowered less than yours, but I have the OEM front lip, so it might be about the same as yours. It is too low to drive the front up on the ramps. However, I use them on the rear a LOT, since I don't trust jack stands (I was almost crushed to death a few months ago). I like to use the ramps in place of 2 jack stands whenever I can.
BTW, it will back up onto the ramps without any trouble at all. This might raise it enough that you can get your jack under the front.

I use mine just fine. The little black things in front of the front tires rub a little, but nothing else. It is really close though.
I currently do the whole stacked wood to get my jack under the car but a pain in the ass so was looking for some ramps. Might just buy the tomioka ramps from kamispeed but this was local and cheaper if it worked. Really only need it for the front as I don't really jack the rear up too much. Usually just oil changes, and adjusting the sc belt.
I'm not really worried about using jack stands. I just want the ramps to get the car high enough to get the jack under a little bit then would probably just use jackstands. I always put a spare wheel under each side when working underneath just in case as a wheel will not crack in half crushing me. Nice last safety step I think.

You know Harbor Freight has a low profile aluminum jack for $60. I have one of these and it works great.

Can you get to the jack points without raising the car somehow? Thought it was still hard to get under with a lowered car.
