I bought rhino ramps for my scooby, but only ended up using em like a few times. When I dropped my car the ramps pretty much wanted to eat my whole bumper

Also.. I dunno about most people, but my clutch control will never be smooth enough going up such an incline without overshooting the little rest area. hohoho..

I

bought two pieces of wood and cut diagonally with a hand saw (that's right, a saw you don't plug in). I wouldn't bother with the rear. It takes a lot to pull your car up onto front and rear ramps at the same time. You'll burn more of your clutch than it's worth, unless the ramp angles are very small. Get a low profile jack (Sears) and the rear should be easy.

Well if I can find a reasonably priced DP I am installing it this weekend so I needed SOMETHING to put my car up on.

I have stock height and will only get to drop my car if I change my home and my work (both locations have mean ramps that scrape real bad even at stock height.).

Just changed my oil the other day...since Kaneohe Subaru is relocating...Put Royal Purple in...

Kind of a pain...I just lowered my car with Espelir springs...and my Rhino's no longer work in the front...I had to jack the front up...then put the ramps under the front wheels...(just bought a new jack but not any jack stands...argh!) they work fine in the rear though...I used them to install my rear sway bar and endlinks...recently...
