For those of you considering jacking the car up onto the Race Ramp wheel crib consider that the suspension compresses bringing the car lower relative to the conventional jack stand solution, of course.
 Well, in my case that lowers the car an additional 4.5" -- a not-so-insignificant amount when working under the car. Also the floor jack needs to be oversized to get the car up on the stands or you need a ramp incurring more expense and floor space but in the end you sacrifice ~4.5" height when the suspension settles. The resulting height the car sits at ends up equivalent to that of using a much smaller floor jack and 4.5" smaller jack stands! I'm concluding that flying the Z on conventional jack stands (or maybe the Rhino Ramps) is a better way to go.
