you can use the rear axle beam thing, just put the jack in the middle of it. In the front, you can use the engine support beam, or whatever its called, it runs from front to back underneath the engine.

Theres also two other points I use, they are behind the front wheels, farther under the car than the tab things, there are two "ridges" that come out of the underside of the car, I'm not sure what they are called, but if you put your jack on the beginning of them, closer to the front of the car, that works too.

Same as spiff. I use the rear axle for the back. It bends a bit but that's fine. If you look under the car about a foot back from the license plate, you'll see a jack-point on the engine support beam. It's roundish, sticks down, and sits very nicely in a standard floor jack fitting.

the question is, people who have an RSB, do you still use the rear beam as a jack point? because i did that once and the RSB bent like crazy. I ended up using the metal brackets that hold the RSB to the beam as jack points, but I dunno if its bad not to jack up the center of the beam.

what points would you use if you were to raise the front end of the car with one of those pump lifts you get at the auto store?

There is a single jacking point about a foot or so behing the front license plate....looks like a hard rubber cone pointing down from engine support. Use this and you can lif the entire front end.
