Jack Points
What are the preferred jack points for a '93 coupe? I'd love to get under the thing... but it's so low, and I don't want to break anything!
Thanks to all who reply.

Re: Jack Points (eschoendorff)
Welcome to the forum.
As for jack points, look at the rocker panel on each side. You will see something that looks like this:
/\ Jack point /\
One will be behind the front wheel and in front of the rear wheel.

Re: Jack Points (eschoendorff)
For the rear, there is a nice piece that fits on to an axle jack. Look back in the archives for this item. If you plan on doing a lot of work on your Vette, I'd suggest the Kwik-Lift as it is much safer than jacks and jack stands. The other thing to look for is plans for a good drive on ramp. I know someone on here has made ramps that work nicely with the C4 Vette.

Re: Jack Points (Strick)
Thanks.. I'll look into this. Does anyone have a favorite (read: inexpensive but effective) floor jack that they can recommend?

Try walmart, I found yest. a Two ton floor jack, two-two ton jack stands, and wheel chocks that come in a handy portable(although i don't know where you'd take it?) duffle type bag with carrying strap all for under $30. Its made by AC DELCO.

Re: Jack Points (eschoendorff)
When buying a jack, make sure it is the low style jack that will roll under the front of your vette. I bought a 3 ton jack from Northern Hydraulic that has a good lift and sits low enough to easily roll under the front. It was less than $100. Jacks advertise the low measurement and range of lift.

Re: Jack Points (Strick)
For jacking up the rear, this is the only way to go..
