Default Ramps for C4 front/rear

Hi all,

I'm looking for a good set of ramps for my 1992 coupe. I found these Rhino ramps that seem to be popular. Is anyone using this (or anything similar)? If so, any issues with clearance on the front?

I saw those at auto zone, i dont think they will work with my '94. not enough ramp/clearance. they need a better approach angle.

I am going to buy some 2x10 and build an approach ramp to bolt on to my ramp. much cheaper than buying the extensions.

The standard RR-56-2 and RR-XT-2 ramps will work great with your C4.

You can get a good deal thru the end of this week and you will also qualify for a free pair of wheel chocks.

I have a set of those. They are 20 years old and work great do the job for the C4, and will also work for the 11" wide rear wheels if you have them. They also sell for a good price, and cheaper than other vendors.

I have those ramps. Got them at Auto Zone. Worked great before I lowered the car. Now I cannot use them unless I place 2 x 8's in front of them. Never had a problem with them.

Bought then several years ago with the extenders for my lowered C4 ZR-1. No problem at all Rolling up the ramps. Garage storage is great too as I just upend them in the shipping box, takes up only about two feet by two feet floor space. Very light, very durable

I use the rhino ramps for the Vett and all my other cars..I just set a couple of custom cut 2 x 10s in front of the ramps so the air dam clears. They work GREAT.

Same here, but after reading the many reviews of them failing, I'm a bit wary of getting under a car with them. Before every use, I inspect them closely. I recently discarded a set that had a minor crack on the bottom of one ramp. It probably wasn't an issue, but who knows. I also partially support the car with jack stands and my floor jack when on them.

If you really want a good set of ramps, you can't beat race ramps. The are light and they don't slide even on my epoxied floor. They come in two pieces for easy storage and the approach angle works for Corvettes without having to use 2x's
