Ramps with extensions for low ground clearance cars exist - I have a set and my Mk3 with lowered suspension goes up on them (and back down!) with no problem. I have seen them in the Griot's Garage ca

You can get 8-point sockets that will fit a square plug - I got some from Sears and better auto parts stores probably would have them too. They can even work on plugs that have been rounded off to a
