Car Jack Options

Hi Everyone - not sure if this is the right forum...

Has anyone tried these car ramp/jacks? I am considering race ramps as well, but I like the extra height I can get out of these (15" total jack height). If you have used them, let me know your thoughts.
I want something for my garage, and I cannot fit a full lift, but these get pretty high and look relatively stable.

I may still get race ramps as well so I have something I can bring to the track with me for the quick adjustments.

Only thing I think would suck is that when you want to adjust something in the front end you are going to either have to turn the wheels or take them off and that cant be done on this ramp. This is good for oil changes and inspections underneath.

But also have to think about when you lift the front end will the back of the car bottom out. I like Quickjacks, You can get them from Costco and arent really that bad in price and will allow you to do everything you can do with these.

And for going to the track a basic jack and jackstands should do the trick. Takes some extra time setting up each time but save yourself some money and space.

Those Quickjacks are super cool, but pretty expensive. You don't have any issues with the limited jack spots on the Camaro?

I personally dont have them for my car but I have saw on the forums a few times people saying they use them. I just use knee pads and a jack.

6th Gen Camaros are pretty low to the ground. If the angle of those ramps is as steep as that photo suggests, I doubt you will be able to get your Camaro on them without scraping something.

Obviously, this is just an observation from a photo with no measurements to reference.

It is on par with the race ramps 10 degree (56 and 67) so I’d think it would work, but I am worried about that too. I’m lowered with the GM kit, so not sure.
