Default How do I get the front of my car on ramps with an RS4 bumper?
The bumper is to low. I cant get on the damp ramps! There has to be a way!

it's best that you dont' push the issue, that's an expensive bumper to mess up..

Default try using a 2x4 before the ramp...
that will usually allow for some leverage height without damaging your bumper.

Default Did you try the low-profile ramps from griots?
they work for me....at least until I lower my S4.

Default Here's my solution...
<center><img src="https://www.audiworld.com/tech/pix/ramp.jpg"></center><p>The 2x8s are nailed together and the whole wood part is bolted to the metal ramp for stability. Works perfect.

Default Those are the same ones I got - from Griots.
They work for stock, but I think I'll still need a creeper when I lower it.

Default I got the low profile Rhino Ramps at Pep Bpys and they work just fine.
