I’ve pulled the wife’s S2000 on ours and a lowered VW Bug.....928 is taller than both.....shouldn’t be an issue. The main question is what do you want to do with it? If you want storage and utility and you want to try and move it? The 4 post is the way to go. If all it’s going to be used for is mechanical work? The 2 post is much more user friendly. You can store on a 2 post, but they’re typically not movable.
As as far as brand....they’re all similar....but do yourself a favor and price it through a few firms...and make sure you know who’s doing the install....that is where I felt I got screwed a bit....the reseller over charged me and hired a subcontractor. They did a good job install, I just paid too much. 6-800 is about the going rate in the south east.
My 928 is at the lower end of the stock ride height. Maybe just a tad under. Another 928 that was also lowered required the ramps as well. But, I know for sure that at least one 928 did not require the ramps to get onto my lift. So, it's probably a fairly close thing. The first time that you put it on the lift, you should either have someone watch, or have someone drive while you watch. The front spoiler can contact the cross bar on the lift, as can the underbody. They can also contact the bridge jacks. But, maybe yours is high enough that it's not a concern.
Anyway, below is an old photo of the ramp that I made from before I had the lift. I originally made these to get the car high enough to perform alignments. Two of this length, and two that are longer and have a removable section to insert my alignment turntables. The way that I use these now is to place the wood ramp's tire stop far enough under the lift's ramps so that the lift's ramp rests on the top level of the wood ramp. If you need dimensions, let me know. But, it's pretty straight forward to figure out for yourself.
The extra length gets the front spoiler high enough that it clears the front cross bar of the lift, and lifts the rear tires enough that the underbody clears the cross bar as well. The 4' optional ramps for the Bendpak may be long enough to achieve the same thing, but I had the wood ramps already on hand, so that's what I've used.
