    Does anyone know if a stock ride hight 06wrx will clear rhino ramps? Or do I need something to extend the length of the ramp?

    put a 2x4 or another piece of wood in front of it if you have any clearance issues.

    This is the trick. Although, at some point you just cannot clear ramps as the incline is too steep and the front bumper will catch -- e.g. lowered + front lip. I have to put the car on wood before I can fit a jack underneath it if the V-limited is mounted ;)

    Does anyone know of any ramps that would work without using a piece of wood?

    It should be fine. My 06 wagon got up there no problem and that's still the case with STI springs on. Put it on ramps just yesterday.

    You should be able to get up Rhino Ramps at stock ride height. I was able to get up them with my 05 WRX at stock height back in the day.

    I have Rhino ramps with my '02 wagon with STI springs. No problem.

    If you really want to test drive the Rhino ramps pre-purchase, you're welcome to come try them out at the house one day.

    I was extremely surprised my lowered M3 fit on Rhino ramps front and rear with no issues.

    I bought a set from autozone for decently cheap, not sure of what brand. The tires like to bulge slightly as the ramps have a little rounded lip on each side and is slightly too narrow for the 235's. This makes me a little nervous, any thoughts on safety of this? while we're on the subject..

    They're either Rhino Ramps or they're not -- not a lot of confusion on that one ;)
