Posted December 28, 201311 yr comment_438638 OK... this may sound like a dumb question, but where do you locate jack stands to support the car so that you can work on the suspension (front and back) on a 280Z? Owners manual points you to spots on the frame, which is fine for the scissor jack that came with the car. Not great for real jack stands. And I'm certainly not going to be crawling under the car while supported by a single hydraulic jack. So...uh... where do you place stands so you can work on suspension safely?Oh...and while I'm at it... can you still get Tokico Illuminas? Was reading some other posts about them not being available for the Z anymore? If not, other options?Thanks...

Always pays to read the instructions (once you have them).

December 28, 201311 yr comment_438647 Those support points on the frame rails only apply if they and the floor is rust free. I have placed them under $300 parts cars and had them break through and into the interior.
