Got it - I was wondering. Thanks for the info!

 

I have a pair of car ramps and i hate them. It takes a while to make sure you set them up and you have to get some one to watch you while you drive on them.

Get your self a low profile jack and jack stand combo. Save your self some money with a combo. Use a actual car jack when lifting your car on all four sides. Do NOT use the stock emergency jack to lift your car up when half your car is on jack stands. I garentee that the stock jack will bend. Emergency jacks are so unsafe.

 

mmm i like those race ramps, but i got jacks and stands already. lol they do sound nice to have when changing fluids.

 

It's not the size of the jack stands, but how you use them. Sorry for the bashing, but if you don't do it like the previously posted pic and use some solid frame or fixed suspension points, you'll be good.

If you do get the bigger truck sized stands, it might help to drive up on boards or use a board under the jack to get it up high enough.

 

It's hard to tell in the picture but I'm working in a parking garage. I had the jack there to help keep the car still when the floor vibrates from other cars driving through.

I do not recommend lifting the car from any place other than where the factory service manual recommends: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/6656516-post7.html

 

without modifying these are no good with the evo x. too steep, your front lip hits before your tires do. i just tried these out yesurday.

 

Just and FYI that the Rhino ramps you'll find at your local autozone will NOT work with the aero kit. I dont know about non-aero kit cars, but i doubt they would work there either.

 

Yup, I only use them to back up onto the ramp.

 

I use Rhino ramps with the aero kit on my Evo. All you need to do is place a 1 ft long 2X4 in front of them to slightly lift the front up and then you can drive up just fine.

Those Race Ramps look like the way to go if I were buying new ramps.

 

So today i decided to see if i couldn't use the front jackpoint as shown in stokEd's post:



I removed one section of the under body panel to expose the following:



Here is a close up:




I placed the saddle of my jackstand right on the spot circled in red on the second pic. It seems to work much better and easier than doing it first one side and then the other. I've left that panel off for now and we'll see. For those of you that have changed your oil, you can see the oil filter peeking out on the left of the second pic. Just to give you a better idea of where that spot is.

ps: you can't see them in the pic's but there ARE wheel chocks behind my rear wheels and my e brake is on as well.

 

^ Thks for the pics.
