Jacking Points
What do you find are the best jacking points for the hydrolic floor jack? I do not trust the rockerpanel points to support the car without deforming a little, but when I select a good spot on the front or rear cross member for the hydrolic jack I am doubtful as to the best placement for the jack stands. I need all 4 locations for the jack stands. I am sure that with this body there are ideal locations for this (there always are). I would prefer to avoid the trial and error method!

I always use the rocker points
no problems yet, save that trying to jack up the at the same place you want to put the jackstands is a little tough. soo...
where do you jack up the rear from on a CGT?

Re: Jacking Points
In the rear, I usually slide the jack in under the bumper, and jack up right on the rear subframe. jackstands would go under the subframe, right between the control arm mounting points on either side. In the front, I use the inner frame rails on the floor boards, both for the jack, and the stands.
