All,
With moving into the new house, I need to figure out new car ramps. The garage has a nice sealant on it which is great however I think it is causing my homemade wooden ramps to move. I have been looking at RhinoRamps as a potential solution

What are others using or could recommend? Thanks!

While that's a really cool system, that is not in my budget at this point.Originally Posted by ZHPizza

Those rhino ramps will not work on a lowered vehicle. ( lowered on h&r sport springs ) Front Bumper would not clear the ramp so ended up jacking up the car using the jack points and putting them under the tires then lowering the car on them ( defeats the purpose of being able to drive onto them )
Race Ramps might work but they are expensive ( ramps or the blocks )
Quick jack is the next best thing but expensive.

I have looked at rhino ramps, but the reviews scare me. It doesn't seem like it would be worth the risk. Race ramps seem to be the quality option, but at a much higher price.

I know I could trawl through various sites for your reasons, but what about Rhinos scares you? I've been using them for a long time.

Race Ramp is great for general maintenance for the ZHP and girlfriend's TDI.
I personally hate jacking up the car and will be looking into getting a Quickjack this year.

My 330ci also has clearance issues with the Rhino Ramps. I use them for my Honda Element and they work fine but do have a tendency to want to slide/move even with their rubber foot.

Thanks- I have a rough floor and have been OK so far. (I started worrying they'd collapse or something...)
