Can anyone point me specifically to a ramp that they know first hand to be quality and be graded to allow proper clearnance for the SI's relatively low height?

My dad walked me through this on the first oil change - but we were going to use his ramps, unfortunately the front of my SI couldn't quite clear the ramp he had, so we ended up just jacking it up and putting it on stands. I figured the ramp would be the fastest/easiest way to change the oil but...

Also, with a ramp, is it really necessary to use jack-stands with it? That's fine if thats the case, I just figured the ramps were solid enough, but I really don't know.

thanks,
