Folks,
I intend to switch to the winter wheels tonight.

Where do I place the jack under each corner to lift the STi without damaging it, and being as secure as possible?

1. Jack points at the perimeter of the Impreza, as per the manual,
2. Rear differential, or
3. Suspension mounting points?

I don't want to damage the perimeter plastic moulding either.

Once lifted, where do I place the jack stands before I start working on it?

For the Jack:

Rear Diff

There is a plate on the bottom of the front cross member to jack up the front.


For the Jack Stands:

Use the factory spots on the rocker panels.

Winters mounted, set up and ready to go.

Time to seek out Subaru country!
