I'm sorry, you lost me and I'm sure a few others there.
I got as far as WRX-STI, cute voice and channel picture, can drive a stick shift, can put it on ramps herself, and can do the oil changes. I'm in love!!
Dammit, she's already married!!

Car Info: 12 STi hatch
seems like most are going with rhino and not race ramps. the race ramps are way more expensive on amazon.
im currently on stock suspension, GR hatch, but i do plan on getting springs/struts this summer (GTWORX/BILSTEIN), which aren't hella low. after that will i still have enough space to work underneath the car? i want to be able to check my front sway bar links occasionally. thoughts?

I bought the Griots Garage ones because they have the extensions to allow even very low cars to roll up on them. I checked and they don't seem to have them anymore. They were basically the same price as Rhino Ramps too except they are metal.

I have both also. Use them for different things. I've always had a jack, but changing oil on the WRX is just a lot easier with the ramps compared to my other cars. Working on the sways was a heck of a lot easier with the ramps too.

i ahve the rhino and had to build a stepper ramp using 2 by 8's because of the front lip. but at this point it's working great, unless it's suspension/brake work, i always use the ramp.

I like my rhino ramps. Just know that if you are lowered 1+ inches and have a lip, or are slammed, you will be better off with a jack as you will have to drive on wood to get onto the ramps lol
