Default Proper way to jack up the car question

I am trying to find out where to jack up the car from the front end and rear end of the s2 ap2 so I can put 4 jack stands and level the car. Any picture or link would be greatly appreciated.

the rear central jack point is the differential housing. I would highly advise using a jack with a large rubber pad to avoid damaging the housing in any way. The front central jacking point should be pretty clear if you look upder the car.. it's part of a crossmember and it's located pretty far back, and obviously in the center.

lift the rear by the lift points and put jack stands under the subframe

the front should be done by the front crossmember...use rags and do the front first.

there's a pic. You need a low profile jack to reach both unless you want to drive up on 2x4s or ramps. Once you jack it up, you can put jack stands under the four jack points on the side.
