Front jack stand points?

[Burg Boxster]

With the Boxster being so stiff you can safely jack one side completely from the rear jacking point. Then place a jack stand securely under the front jacking point and lower the rear back to the ground. Repeat on the other side and you will have the front end off the ground to do both front brakes at once. Make sure the jack stand is firmly seated on the jacking point before removing the wheels and as an added precaution, place both wheels under the frame in case the jack stand gives way. I jacked mine this way several times. Good luck changing the pads - it's a pretty easy DIY.

I can't find the pic,but insite posted a pic of how to lay the front on jack stands w/o messing anything up.

It's in the thread 'impressions;lower stress bar',I don't think that's the thread's exact name but it's close.

I had everything apart today... it is not that tough. I do prefer the wheel studs on my 944's as they make it way easier to mount the wheel again. And it is definitely a pain to jack that thing and get it on stands. I really really need a lift.

Only problem? Performance products shipped me Zimmerman drilled rotors that fit a regular Boxster, not the S-specific models. I even called them when I got them asking about the vaning and they said it's OK they are internally non-directional. Well, after I got in there and compared the rotors, the front ones they sent me are definitely not correct.

SO... I did not end up doing anything as I did not want to install new pads on the old rotors, which are VERY worn, knowing I would then have to rebed when the new rotors come. I basically took everything apart for fun, and put it back together again.

I have the correct rotors on the way, but I can't return the ones I have because I painted the hats. Anyone want a deal on drilled rotors for the BASE Boxster, with nicely painted black rotor hats?
