| The low ride height, long front overhang, and low facia of the SHO makes it difficult or impossible to use most mass-produced service ramps. Having lower profile tires or aftermarket springs only makes it worse. Here are a couple of alternatives. | |
Rhino Ramps |
Rhino Ramps are longer and higher than normal ramps. A stock
SHO's facia clears them with no problem. They are just the right height
to change oil without jacking up the car. They also come with rubber stops
that fit on the bottom to prevent sliding and are rated at 12,000 lbs per
set. Here's a review
from a Miata site.
The Rhino Ramps are manufactured by Blitz, USA

Home-made |
If you have the proper equipment for the necessary angle cuts (a band saw (or some nice hand planes if you're a neanderthal ;-) is probably in order), you can make your own ramps out of sufficiently wide lumber. |
