What are the proper front and rear jack points for an FB RX-7? I need to be able to safely get jack stands under the factory, side under-rocker jacking points. Thanks!

Ray,

FB's are tough to jack (I have one). The rails are not strong enough and will buckle. Your best bet is to use the factory jack notches on the rockers and then either put the jackstands under the suspension (rear axle housing and front crossmember) or use wide-pad stands on the extreme ends of the rails.

For the rear I always lift by the diff center then use stands carefully positioned.

For the front you can use the rail where they are welded together, look underneath you will see the point, but if you are off by a fraction it will buckle as mentioned by P71.
