15% of the prices listed on the site linked in your signature? Do those prices include shipping?

You didn't answer the question. I'm only asking since the prices listed on the website linked in your signature appear to be higher than the prices listed for the same products on ebay and other websites. Almost as if the "group discount" isn't a discount at all.

The 56" ramps you list for $199 on your website (which your 15% group buy discount would reduce to about $170 are listed HERE on eBay for $165 (BIN $175).

I hope not, especially from a sponsor. Dodging questions like that doesn't build confidence. I thought it was an easy question.

Does sponsor spam go better with eggs than regular spam?

I bought some that look EXACTLY like those for less than $50 at Pep Boys. Works good for the 79 but will not clear the spoiler for the GTS.

I've got a pair, too. That's what made me curious in the first place. I think they're called rhino ramps or something. The angle is too high for the front spoiler, so I guess there's a market for these longer, lower angle ramps. Regardless, raising the car 8" isn't enough to do any real work so my ramps have collected dust in the corner for the last 4 years.

Oh well. This guy doesn't care to give a clear answer. He'd rather just spam away and see how many folks will make the purchase and be none the wiser. Spam email works the same way -- send countless emails, and if 0.0001% buy the product, it's still profitable.

It may be a good product, useful to somebody, but it sure as hell doesn't look like anyone here is getting a discount.

if you have Rhino ramps try putting a couple of 2x4s about a foot long next to each other just in front of the ramps, this seems to lift nose just enough to get the spoiler to ride the ramps for about 4 inches till the tires contact the ramps, this is based on regular ride height, I have done this on more than a few S4s and a few 86,85 s, there has not been any damage then I usually let the car down with a jack jacking on the front foward control arm chassis braces that is if the car has an under belly pan

This is good advice. I've done the same thing not only with the shark but corvettes too. 2x4's are cheap compaired to these ramps. The earlier post about working with 8" extra clearance is true. It really works only for inspections and not major repairs. All gear heads should have a lift! I'm getting mine soon
