Just buy the Harbor freight floor jack and some jackstands.

And all of my other cars: position car with one wheel up on curb (assuming you have gutters), and wheel in street on two 2X4s, crawl under.
No need to Jack.

I honestly have not tried it with the BRZ, but all my other cars work, and I am a fat ass.

The stop on the 3 inch ramps is useless.

Has anybody tried them on the regular (non-low profile) race ramps? Will the front lip clear?

I am kind of a noob to all of this. Would race ramps give an stock height FRS enough height to change the exhaust?

would still be pretty tight IMO

but it can be done... my driveway is slightly aimed downhill, i backed the car up on the ramps with it aimed downhill, added some extra clearance, made installing the catback exhaust easy

did the same thing to get more room to install the front pipe

Yes. I checked the other day since I'm selling the 2 piece version.

I know you said you're stock, but if anyone is thinking of purchasing and are lowered, just an fyi, they will not work if you're lowered 1.5 inches or more.
