I have seen a number of posts where C5 owners have used Race Ramps when working on their cars. If you do a search with “Race Ramps” as the search criteria.
I have Rhino Ramps, which you can obviously not drive up on with your C5. I bought a 2x12 at the Home Depot, and made extensions for them. Drilled two holes in the ramps and the extensions and I drop lag bolts into the holes to hold everything in place. They work perfectly and the cost was about $10. The big downside is the weight. But I’m cheap so I deal with it.

I have a set of the 3" ramps, my car is fairly low so I only need those to get my jack underneath and I also have some cribs to set the car on once in the air
I use the Race Ramp - Track Jack set up or whatever its called.
Low profile and get the front just high enough to get my harbor freight lo-profile jack underneath to lift the car.
I have a 4-post lift. And I have a 2000 Coupe that is lowered. My lift runways are 8" off the ground when fully lowered. I use a set of race ramps to drive my lowered Coupe on there with no issues at all.
I bought the 56" one-piece ones a long, long time ago. The company was still what one could call a "fledging" company. The front air dams scrape a bit (as does my C6 ) but overall they have served me well. The best part? They are so light that they are very easy to store in my garage attic. Takes but 1 minute or less to have them ready to go.
