Exclamation Jack all 4 corners of my B5... Tips please!

I've done it with civics and integra's, but looking at the tips and tricks and DIY articles I can find, all seem to just say for front jack here, rear jack here, and none that say how/where to start, when jacking all 4 corners up.

Looking for a list of instructions or just your tips from doing it yourself.

Thanks!

use a floor jack not a bottle jack ...I personaly start at the front ,the side skirts will have dimples in the bottom of panel where you should put the jacks.just make sure you are on a good solid part of the body pan before you start jacking you car

So each corner 1 at a time is what you're sayin?

There are pinch welds next to each wheel under the lower trim. I do the front on the lower core support where the stock charge pipe is. I wouldn't necessarily do this if it was still being used tho.

If you aren't lowered, drive the front up on ramps, then jackstand one side at a time in the rear. It'll keep the car a lot more stable. After that you can lift the front corners higher and jackstand them.
