johngreen537 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Depends what you need to access under the car mate, but generally, where LCA / wishbone meets chassis is easiest!Niceley shaped for stand tops too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted June 11, 2011 Author Share Posted June 11, 2011 awesome thanks guys. so safe to actually put them on LCA and have the whole weight on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johngreen537 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Yes mate. Or If you are worried, and you hava jack that will lift the rear end high enough, sitck them on the jack points on the sills!You'll notice on your stands a little cut out section on the V bit, which is specifically designed for this! I had my EP3 on stands for 2 days on the sills waiting for drop links to turn up as I had to remove the LCA's to put on the subframe strengthener!You can see them in the bottom corners of this pic:You just need a jack that will lift the car high enough to get the stands under the sills!
