yea it's the hook but u'll need something sturdy to sit the floor jack on. the rear hook is a little too high for standard jacks.

When I rotate my tires, I use a floor jack to lift either the front or rear high enough that I can slip my jacks stands under the opposite corner. You can actually lift both the front and rear tires on one side off the floor at the same time.


The lift points are actually a reinforced tang that is about 3-4 inches long. You can feel them under the edge of your sills. There are two on each side. One just behind the front tire, and one just in front of the rear tire.
Just position one of the tangs inside the lift cup on your floor jack, and you're ready to go.

its WAY safer to put a 4x6 block of wood on top of the jack than it is to put the jack on top of the wood! I do it all the time on my gen2

Just get a floor jack then you don't have to worry about the height difference

Same here- need a piece of wood block on top of the jack, when using a centerpoint to lift the car at the rear.
Even the front- a small block helps there and distributes the load better.

For the person suggesting the normal lift points- the object of this exercise is to raise the entire car, or one end of it to work on.
