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!

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

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".

Re: Rhino Ramps... awesome!
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.

Re: Rhino Ramps... awesome!
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.

Re: Rhino Ramps... awesome!
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.

Re: Rhino Ramps... awesome!
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.
