No pics but if you get down on the ground and look under the car you will see the jacking points. Get your manual out and look there too. Right behind the front wheels and right before the rears.

I know how to jack up the car but while it is up on one side, where do I put the stands? and so on for each wheel.

I recently did that to my car and put the 3 ton jack stands on the suspension carriers, I have two race jacks for that reason so I can completely jack up the car front or rear and than strategically place the stands in the appropriate locations. (use the regular jacking points on the car like you normally do to jack the car up) I did the rear first and then the front.

It will become obvious when you jack the car up but is much easier and safer with to jacks IMO.

The last thing I wanted to happen was it slide off one of the jack stands when I was jacking the other side up. These cars are so rigid that you can almost jack the car up on one side and that whole side will come up front and rear at almsot the same height off the ground. For the cost of them buy two decent aluminum race jacks and you will be good to go and feel more comfortable about it.

Hope that helps some.

Actually they are that rigid, or at least mine is with aftermarket anti-sways........I'm able to take the back left up enough to get the jack stand under the left front.
