I ordered them so for anyone who is interested I will let you know. Also is this the correct diff fluid http://www.thenismoshop.com/Castrol-...-R-_p_48.html? Couldn't find it anywhere else.

No not lowered. I'm pretty sure driving up jacking up the front of the car will be OK. I saw a lot of corvettes used this exact model and were fine. I'm not sure if they will work for jacking up the rear because the front is lower.

I think you will be fine, when I bring my SLS to the dealer they use these in order for the lift to be able to get under the car, they simply drive up the ramps with just the right amount of space before scraping.

That diff fluid looks like the stuff I used the first time. The second time I got Castrol Syntrax Limited Slip 75W-140 from the dealer with a MB parts sticker on it. Not sure what the difference is if any. Recommended for MB, BMW and GTR.
You will need some way to transfer the fluid from the can to the differential. The stuff the dealer sells comes in a .5 liter bottle with a pull out neck on the top and you can squeeze the fluid directly into the differential. Not exactly easy but it can be done. Takes 1.2 liters.
GL with those ramps. I would rather have the car a little higher up with more clearance underneath.

I use the two piece Race Ramps.
The extra height makes it much easier to work under there. Also, the two piece allows you to remove the ramp sections so you can work easier from the sides and you can fit the ramps in the trunk.
Refer to attached photos.
