Do you have an owner's manual? The vehicle jack also has a sticker with the jacking points on it.

On the sills between the 2 notches. Had an insert madefor my floor jack to fit those points. Rear axel if no sway bar.

Ive had mine on jack stands by where the lower control arms meet the subframe. Worked fine.
But because this is a safety issue, i am gonna wait for somebody, to describe it better than me, to post up.
Beautiful car by the way!

Thanks!

Also I cannot remove my stock jack from the back. Seems to be locked in there and cannot twist or pull it out like in the manual. Any suggestions?

mount points

Heya 3.0 HO

I've been safely raising the car with a jack and a small 1x4 piece of wood for insulation under the rear axle, between my sway bar ( stillen ) and the moving suspension. placing the jack stands (with longer pieces of 1x4s about 4-6 inches ) under the frame portion of the car, be careful not to crush any of the line running on the inner driver side ( just alongside of the frame rails ) you will see several lines running along the frame toward the center of the car. try and find the frame portion that is most rear where the frame ends and place the pad just under the end and the welded frame

I haven't had any problems there for mounting points, but please make sure you block off the tires so the car doesn't roll in either direction.

I hope this helps
