Some of you may laugh here but does anyone have any pic's of where you can place axle stands and the zs? please show or tell me lol

I have seen a schematic drawing somewhere, do you have a workshop manual? There's different points for jacking and for axle stands.

Fronts I place them on the wishbone chassis mounts and rear on inner lower leg chassis mount. Final positioning will depend on what work you are doing.

that whole jacking it up on the front/ rear mounts always scares the shoite out of me because its the towing eyes... never done it from there.

Just so you know, according to Haynes they're not towing eyes, rather lashing points for hoisting the car up onto a flatbed. Says specifically not to use these to tow the ZS/45...

oh joy... thats what the aa guy used when it died once! where is the eye then?
