I always found it easy to put on the plate inbetween the two suspension parts get it high enough for jack stands. put the jack stands under the suspension arms.

the best way i found is to jack off of the sway bar mount on one side and put a stand under it and the jack the other and put a stand under it. my car has also been lowered a little

i would never attempt to jack up my Z. go to walmart or kmart they sell lower profile car ramps that will not hit your front end at all. they are plastic and are rated for around 4000lbs.

yes definately go buy a set of low pro ramps, they were the best investment ive bout, saves time and alot easier than dragging a jack around.

yea man you never wanna be under a car when you don't have the weight equalized. I race dirt cars and i'll tell you from a personal experience, you don't want a car that sits that low to the ground on top of you. IT HURTS!! Take thier advice, buy some ramps.
