Default Do Tomioka Racing Super Slopes work on an S2K?

I am trying to find out if the Tomioka Racing Super Slopes will work on an S2K? I think the deflectors in front of the front wheels may hit the ramp on the way up. Is anyone successfully using these ramps on an S2K? If they work please list mods like drop and front lip.

Thanks!!

John

I have used them at a friends house and they worked with my car but my front deflectors may be worn down a bit. I have a AP1 front with amuse lip and a drop around 3 inchs. I have two 24 inch "2x4s" with the ends cut @ a 45 degree angle that I keep in my trunk for portable ramps to get a jack under my car when it is low.

they also actually interfere with the front sideframe jacking point.

i my tomioka racing slopes. they work great with my set up: gp sports kit with finger gap all around.
they even work for the rear as the side skirts sit very low. they sit right under no problems.
i can drive straight over them without any issues front and rear. one of my best investments and they fit in the trunk as well

Do you mean they block it or hit it?

not sure why it would interfere unless one was reversing on them.
place them in the front of the tire and you'll be good to go!

actually it looks like they'd interfere UNLESS you reverse onto them. however, once you get on them, you may be able to just access the point in the center underneath the car

they interefere the front lower jack point on the frame rail. The sloping part blocks the jack from properly accessing that point. unless of course you have some thin jack.
