Hey Guys,

I've yet to find a suitable jack for our S-cars that I can use with jack
stands so
I've been using ramps...

... or maybe I'm misinformed on how/where to jack the car.

The way I see it (owner's manual and visual), there are 4 spots on the front
to jack the car, the 2 rearward of the 2 front wheels, and then the 2 metal
platform braces between the 2 front wheels.

So, where do you jack the car when using jack stands?
Where can you find a jack that can fit under the center mounts?

Any help is appreciated, thanks.
