So the GT3 Touring fits nicely in the garage but there is a transition point where I am just catching the front lip, not by much but enough I would like to do something about it. Don't really have the option to back the car in due to access doors within the garage.

Problem looks like this

Now thinking of a really simple solution with some 2x4 or 2x6 studwork and ply to basically provide a 'transition' ramp to split the difference. Has anyone done this? Any idea how big to make the transition ramp?

As a permanent solution I would not use wood....you need a fabricated piece similar to the red in the picture.....an issue to consider is the bigger you make it the easier the transition but it may hinder the garage door

Is it too much for a half turn on the coil overs to fix? The car is ride height adjustable.

I believe Griot's sells a "filler" for this. Try this. https://www.griotsgarage.com/product...rPicks&from=fn

Looking around these alumimimum ramps maybe a good solution

I use these for my driveway. https://www.bridjit.com/?gclid=CjwKC...BoCL2cQAvD_BwE

Thanks,I will take another look but don't think these are long enough. I think the front lip will have caught on the bottom before they have a chance to lift the front wheels.

OK some updated diagrams

There is 68" from the garage door to the transition point.

The 5' alu ramps maybe a workable and easy solution. Looking and thinking about the bottom diagram, I don't think a longer ramp helps as the angles are still the same. Ramp needs to be long enough for it to lift the splitter (via Front Wheels) before the splitter hits.

Are you certain its the front lip hitting and not the brake cooling vents? When I load my car onto my trailer, they hit before the lip.

I use the shorter version of this with my Race Ramps but it comes in 67in version.

Race Ramps, light and durable not necessarily cheap.

They can build you something.

PM sent. I think I have what you need, which is the shop ramps.

You would be surprised at how effective an 18" wide piece of 3/4 plywood can be with a middle support cross wise. The length of the ramp needs to be at least twice the distance from front of lip to tire. That way the tire lifts the car front as it climbs onto the ramp. Solid lumber is stronger, also heavier. My first trailer ramp extensions were 2x4s with 1/2 ply on top.
A lot depends on if you need to place and remove the ramps every time you take the car out.
