Thanks Swivel. I've got the homemade wood ones now. Should break down and get these. Any issues with initial clearance? I'm lowered a bit.

They claim a 17 degree approach angle, so you may have to break out the protractor! No issue for my sedan, but I'm not lowered. I didn't pay attention to how much extra clearance I had. Changing oil next weekend so I will attempt to notice and post up.

I bought a set a few years ago and they wouldn't work. I can't remember if they were Rhino or not. That was before I was lowered the 1/2" too. I believe the coupe in stock form sits about 1/2" lower than sedan.

That's exactly why I made wood ones as well.

I bought a set off Craigslist for $15. I had no problems but I'm not lowered either. Cleared with plenty of room though.

Nice. But they raise the car like what 4"?

I've seen some ramps that are for the corvette guys on ebay. Pricey though

Does anyone know if the Rhino Ramps will work with my 2007 X?

They're currently 30% off at Part Source, so I'm planning on picking up a set if they'll work.

Don't see why not. If you lived closer, you could try mine. Heck, if you wanna borrow them I'll bring them in tomorrow. Yeah, I saw that deal, it's a good one!

Crap, I just realized if I drop mine, it won't either. It's close now, but works fine. Like I said, Xtn, if you wanna try mine...
