well there really isn't a jacking point in the front because of the huge splash guards on the Evo. Unless you take those off, you're restricted to Rhino Ramps.

There's pinches on the side, but obviously they're not large enough for both a jack and jackstand.

There's also a towhook at the rear.

i needed to lift the rear once so i just drove it on the ramp.... are you saying the towhook is where you can lift it from the rear?

yes, you can use a floor jack on the towhook and then put jackstands on the pinches. If you have ramps then there's no need to do this, but if you need to jack the car up higher than a foot or so, you will need a jackstand and jack.

If you want to use a jackstand and jack in the front you will need to remove the undertray.

Up the front jack points are at the seam below the door. Then put your jack stand on the "frame" underneath the car.

The lift points are obviously the "frame"

The front jack point is underneath the plastic undertray. Depending on what you're doing, you might be able to jack up each front side individually and place jackstands underneath (much easier than removing the undertray). Or as many people have mentioned, you can use Rhino ramps. I personally have 2 pairs of ramps and I feel WAY safer than just jackstands. They are totally worth the $30 or whatever per pair.

What would be really nice is to have jack points welded onto the side rails like they do on rally cars.
