I just wana say that if anyone is looking for ramps for there car, go get Blitz Rhino Ramps... i payed 31.95 for them at Advanced Auto Parts... it can be found in pep's and walmart too, there nice and they dont scrape... now i need to go home and start workin! hehehehe...

 

I've got to give Rhino Ramps a big thumbs up, too. I've had them for three years now and they are great. Nice and wide, too.

 

I got some Rhino ramps a few weeks back from Pepboys on sale and with free wheel chocks. Makes oil changes a breeze!

 

yeah i have them too they are great you can store them outside and dont have to worry about rust or anything

 

Those are excellent ramps, and they seem to grip real good, the height is just right to.

 

i still use a jack and jackstands.. i guess its time for ramps then..

 

I haven't found any ramps that work good with my lowered car..? My front gfx always hits.

 

I was just going to ask, do they work with lowered cars??

 

I used them on my B4C when I had the prokit on there and they work ok, I had to lift up on the front end (manually) just a little to fit them in, probably a better choice for lowered cars are the metal ones and use the optional extension ramps.

 

if u go to a lot of miata sites, they love them, and you cant get much lower then lowered miatas and civics...

 

Dont even think of using them on 91-92 Trans Ams. NEVER happen.

 

how come?

 

I have some of those and my stock RS still scrapes them.

 

I have them too. they are great ramps and pretty cheap.
My '88 gets on them no problem, but the larger front GFX of my '92 won't clear, I have to use some boards to step the car up onto the ramps.
It sux for our cars because of the huge front overhang we have.
Nonetheless, they make life easier!

 

It's not about ground clearance, it's about the distance from the front wheel to the front of the car. Miatas et al have very little in front of the front wheel, while our cars have quite the "overhang" as it was just referred to. I haven't been able to use a ramp since lowering my ride. I've seen ramp extensions, though.

It's no big deal anyway. Once you get subframe connectors, jacking up the car is actually easier than using ramps.

I have some kind of black ramps and they are hard to get up my litle plastic piece under my car scrapes a little.. by the ways its a 87 firebird...but my brother has a 97 eagle talon and we had to put boards un his to walk it up but they do make oil chaning a breeze i give them two thumbs up to.!

 

i bought a set about a month ago and my car barly fits on them, but it fits if the ground is level, i dunno how they are about changing oil with, never tried it. but then working on the car it makes it alot esier when you have a pit.

 

I have a set that I bought for $31 at Autozone a year ago. Nowadays, Wal-Mart has them for $16.88!

88 WS6 TransAm GTA,
I use them on the front of my '92 GTA with no problem. Doesn't hit the GFX. They did knock off the deer-scarers that the previous owner installed though. Those hung down over 1 1/2".

 

So guys, can I use these on my standard, non-lowered -91 Trans Am GTA?

 

My guess is that you will be okay, HisDivineShadow, though I've never had a GTA. I never had any problem with my '92 Formula and have only the slightest of issues with my '87 and '90 IROC's and '91 Z28.

Good luck.

 

They will work on a lowered car (in my case a RS with Eibach Pro-Kit) if you take a hand saw and cut down the lip at the rear of the ramp. I have a lot of trouble with them wanting to scoot out from under my car. I've even tried the trick of attaching a rope to it and driving onto the rope before driving onto the ramp. It could be that my garage floor is too slick. Because of these hassles my preferred method is to jack up the front and use jack stands under the A-arms. When I do use the ramps I'll just jack up the front of the car then lower it onto the ramps.

I picked up some at AutoZone a few months ago. I haven't used them on the front wheels but I did back onto them fine without scraping. Pretty cool product.

 

i'm the same way. jack stands are very easy to use. i've also done the jack up and let down onto the ramps method as you mentioned.

 

my 89 formula is lowerd and uses the 82-83 T/A air dam which is deeper than the stock formula dam and i bump the air dam on the ramps when i use mine. my issue is when i roll up on my ramps mine slide and yup that lil rubber foot is on there, i screwed it thru the side to make sure it stayed put. mine slide due to my floor, its epoxy coated.
now on stright out concrete, they grip like a merf and work killer. if ya just brush the underside of your car i wouldnt sweat that but if your diggin into the ramps then thats where i would have concern.

 

mine slid too, so i now work on the grass, no problems.
