Lowered Evo, Looking to get "Race Ramps". Need Advice

Does anyone have race ramps for their lowered car? I was thinking of getting these...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Race-Ramsp-R...922186&vxp=mtr

I'm trying to figure out if these things are even safe? I know the weight of our cars goes like this..

Curb Weight:
GSR: 3527 lbs. / 1600 kg
MR: 3571 lbs. / 1620 kg
FE: 3527 lbs. / 1600 kg

But, if i ordered race ramps what weight capacity should i look for to be safe? The weight capacity of the one i posted in the link is a Maximum Weight Capacity: 3000lbs.

I'm just curious if people own any of these low profile ramps. I am definitely looking into them now. What do you guys think?

3,000lb per set would be more than enough since you're only lifting the front (heavier) half of an Evo.

Alternately, for about $30 worth of lumber....

I use the two piece race ramps for all my cars. I purchased them around three years ago for my corvette because it sits way low. They work just fine and they are way light.
