G on all fours?

do you guys ever put the G up on 4 jack stands?

ive seen it done on a 350 and im sure you can do it on a G. ive never jacked my car up so im just wondering how to do it. i read the manual but it just says how to jack it up. any info would be great

Do it this way.........

The manual shows you where to jack the G up front and aft. Just use those
points to position the jackstands. Kinda like when I had my Volks installed
they had four jacks under my G right behind the front wheels and just ahead
of the rear wheels!

And here I thought my friend was the only person to use cinder blocks. His Porsche Boxter S is sitting on them right now.
