anywhere on the frame rails up front and on the lower control arms on the rear is how i do it. Right where they connect to the chassis

Lift up one side at a time on the front and then by the rear diff on the back

I've heard before that people lift their evo's by the rear diff, but I still can't get myself to do it that way.

Since the thin rolled rails on the stock jack points are soft and can bend.... i took a ice hockey puck and trimmed a groove in the middle and mounted that on my floor jack. Cost= $3.99. Worked perfectly.

Or you can spend $23.99 for this: http://69.20.111.53/index.asp?PageAc...dID=1792&MMP=1

I got frustrated with the lack of easy accessability to the front jack point so I decided to modify the center panel that you normally have to remove like 15 screws to allow you to lift the front end from the center. Now i just gotta remove two screws and the panel i created flips open and the jack can go right in, lifting the front end perfectly.

I did a "how to do" write up here: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=195947
