Rear Jacking Point
Am I doing any damage by jacking the rear end of my '99 FRC by the middle of the rear crossmember. I need to be able to slip my ramps under the rear wheels to get the car in the air. I am going to change the rear sway bar and need the suspension level to adjust the end links. This method seems better/safer than trying to back up the ramps. Thank you in advance.

I lift the rear of my car from the center of the rear crossmember. I use a floor jack and place an 8"x8", 1/4" thick steel plate on the jacking pad to span the crossmember. Works great.
