Random question but does anybody know the measured location of the jacking points? Ie distance between them, lengthwise and width wise on the car?

I'm away at the moment (so can't go out and measure them) and I'm considering buying some rolling axle stands for easily moving the car around the garage.

If anyone has the measurements to hand, or is under their car at the moment, it would be much appreciated if you could grab the dimensions.

Thanks
Chris

I just checked my car, 141cm between front sides and 146cm in the rear.
Looks like it's to wide for the equipment in the link, unless you place them on the beams closer to the center which might be a bit unsafe.

Ah, good info, thanks. I did wonder whether they'd have to go on the chassis rails. But they'd have to be quite large cups to sit properly.

Thanks Noodels. Given that I'll have to jack the car up to put it on wheel dollies or axle stands, I might as well get rollable axle stands so I can use them when the wheels are off the car too.

That picture isn't very accurate regarding the sill points. The jacking points are slightly to the rear of the arrows showing the front sill jacking points and slightly inboard and to the front of the arrows showing the rearmost sill jacking points. Front subframe and diff points are right though.

I've emailed a couple of companies to ask if they can do wider ones. Got a 'no' from SJS so far.
