Default Has anyone had problem using those plastic ramps?

When I want to maintenance under my old Subie, I usually use my rhino ramps to raise the vehicle a lot quicker.

I feel kind of eager to use the ramp on my new box because it's FF. When I had my old civic, even the slightest accleration made the tire spin and making the car slide the ramp right underneath the underside rail of the car.

Has anyone had this same problem using the ramp on the xb? I'm assuming the traction control will help it a bit?

have you guys ever seen something like a low rise ramp? ive seen cars at shows pull up onto them, and they raise the car about 2-3"

that would be perfect for my car, since i cant get a jack under it!!
