thanks

Besides the 4 under the ends of each rocker panel, the center rear one is under the differential drain bolt. The center front one is under the main cross bar under the engine. Your owner's manual has a diagram of all of these.

thanks a lot

sorry for being lazy to look up the manual

now, all i need is to look for some good deal on garage jack and jack stand

just to add:
place a block of wood or rubber (if you have clearance) between the jack pad and any jacking point to prevent metal to metal contact damage and also to prevent slippage.

Also, there are few, if any, floor jacks that will just slide under the two central jacking points. You'll need to cut yourself up 4 pieces of 2"X8"X12" boards to drive each tire up onto. Then the floor jack will reach those points and you'll still need to jack them up a little at a time till it gets high enough for a full stroke.

If your just buying a jack, think about getting one that has a rubber pad as an accessory. It will baby your diff. I find two 2x4x24 boards work fine for the front and nothings needed for the back. I'm not sure why xviper would need four.

The Harbor Freight aluminum jack makes a dandy S2000 accessory for those who go to the track for frequently work on their cars... About $200.

Very low saddle height (3 1/2"), 6 pump lift, rubber pad, very light.

Obviously not as good as the other one, but only a tenth of the price. Either way, Harbor Freight & Tools is the place to go and there are several in the LA area.
