Got a question, is there a point under the car in the front and back that can lift the car?
I got a good hydrolic jack, but with the kaminari sides it hard to jack the car up on the side points.

You could probably use the tow brackets or whatever you wanna call em.

There is also a bushing of sorts that connects to the control arm on the rear...maybe that is the wrong terminology but it works just fine.

I use the tow hook brackets. There are 2 in the front and two in the back. Usually I use 2 jacks: the factory scissor jack and hydraulic floor jack. I use the scissor jack to get it up enough to slide the floor jack under the side skirts and under the proper jack area. Its a pain in the ass.

get you 4 pieces of wood, 2 for each side, and use them as ramps, drive up on them then use the normal bars... thats what i do

In back you put a floor jack on the rear subframe. Look under the car, right between the lower control arms is a little hump on the subframe. Put the jack head there.
In front look under the car, in the middle. See that center tow hook?
Well, put the jack head just behind that.
Even better, get a 2x4 about 6 inches long. Put that just behind the tow hook, slide it forward until it stops (it will be hitting the back side of the tow hook. Jack from that board.
Yes, you lift both front or both rear tires at one time.

I'll second Scott
I can't speak for Scott but I changed my tires at least 46 times last year.
(23 events, once in the moring the once in the afternoon, sometimes less than 2 hours between change overs)
