Can anyone recommend a set of ramps for a lowered car? All I can find are plastic wedges that raise the car about 10 cm.

i've got a set of these from machine mart

https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/car-ramp-extensions/

work perfectly fine with normal ramps.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

Cheers, that would be good if I already had a set of ramps! It would be nice to have a pair that didn't need extensions.

A lot of money indeed, worth it if they were to be used daily or even weekly but if that was the case I would suggest you have major problems :D

I have a set of ramps that are too steep for the cabby but used two short lengths of "builders board" to make tempory extensions, worked fine and cost nowt.

That'd do it, stick a block under to support it and a bit of 2x2 across to grip onto the rung if the ramp... done
