Does anyone use ramps for working on their car and if so which one did you buy? I installed a 6 point chasis brace and there is no where to use go lift up the car except the sides which is hard because of the lowering springs. I just want to drive up and be able to get underneath the car. I've looked online but a lot of them look suspect.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

You can check out Race Ramps. I was thinking about getting some as well. Not cheap though but very convenient.

+1 on these, I just checked them out online. Very nice and more affordable than Race Ramps!

Rhino Ramps.
Low incline, tough, and not very expensive.
Mine have handled everything from a Jeep Cherokee to a PT Cruiser to a Jeep Rubicon to a Suzuki SX4 to the ST.

Jacking up the car and putting it on jack stands is stupid for an oil change. I use the Rhino ramps with a 2x4 on the front because my splitter doesn't clear it.

Rhino Ramps function well with my FiST. I was expecting issues, since these ramps had clearance problems when used with my (prev. owned) Mazdaspeed 3, at stock ride height. Nope--the Fiesta ST has less front overhang, and I get no clearance probs at stock height. The Harbor Freight 1.5 ton 'race ramp' is often on sale (just bought a 2nd one--$59); ramps, jacks, and jackstands...worth the investment.

I made some wood ramps like 4 years back and they still work fine. I think it's 5 steps and 6 inches wide

+1 for wood ramps. Mine are progressively stacked 1x6 and get the car up about three inches to give more jack clearance.

Low profile jack on inner A-arm mounting point plus jackstands = win
