Look pretty sweet to me. It appears it would fit right up to any Rhino ramp style ramp to add on an extra few inches of clearance. I put my Rhino ramps up against my Swift-dropped Evo IX today and I need about 4 more inches of clearance before its going up. The front lift kit is really in the way...

If all else fails Im thinking of just building my owns ramps similar to this - http://www.mustangworld.com/ourpics/...amps/index.htm

I'm just going to make my own. I can customize it the way I want to so it works out even better for me.

Where in Seattle are you?

I use the rhino ramp with a piece of 2x8 put part way up the ramp. the 2x8 is about 2 feet long. works on my too low bumper.

The mustang link thing is good too, but there is no way you are going to get a jack in if you need to raise it up higher.

Rhino ramps plus a piece of plywood about 1/2" to 3/4" thick in front of the ramp, works great. The bumper may scrape a tiny bit, but not enough to scratch the bumper.

If you're cheap, you can take a 8" x 8" landscape timber and cut it at an long angle through the middle 5 feet to make two ramps that start as tapered as you'd like and won't scrape your car no matter how low. Picks your car up 8". I did this for a very low race car and it worked just fine. Total cost $15. Downside --not very portable...

And as I said, I already have Rhino ramps and my lowered MR cant even begin to make it up. People with lowered Evo's must not have zero-lift kit, or the front end isn't dropped very far.

Sounds like no ones had expierence with them. I'm picking a set up from Griots tomorrow after work, I'll let everyone know if they work good or not.

My stock height MR w/ Zero lift kit can't even begin to make it up the Rhino Ramps. I'll be spending $20 and buy some wood to help my car get up the ramp.
