Hi there guys, working on a 95 SHO 3.2L. Was wondering what the jack points/ positions for the jack stand are? Trying to lift the front to get at the starter and was worried about bending the metals underneath as I’m not amazingly versed in mechanical stuff. Thank you :)

if you could like circle or arrow at the points that would be wonderful. (Photograph was taken from behind passenger front tire)

I jack the front of the car up from the middle of the subframe if I'm trying to raise both wheels off the ground. If I only need to raise one side then I just move the jack more to that side of the subframe. I place the jack stands under the subframe where the strut rods connect to it. Can't see it in the pic you posted but if you follow the strut rod from the control arm to the subframe you will see that there is a sweet spot right there for the jack stands.

In the rear I have an H brace mounted where the control arms bolt in the center of the car. I use that H brace as my jack point and then place the jack stands at the strut rod mount in front of the rear wheels. Using the H brace allows for raising both sides of the rear at the same time just like using the subframe does in the front.
