Do you have picture to show exactly where? So on this spot you can just use normal floor jack to jack the car from each corner?

not an IS but same idea, and you get to do two wheels at the same lift

if you have a floor jack, its faster if you can lift the car by the rear differential or the brace under the engine for the front. To place the jack stands I use the metal framing thats on the inside of the pinch weld. I bent my pinch weld on my 2IS putting the jack stand on it. I dont use the pinch welds anymore for jack stand support

Could 1.5 ton floor jack lift whole front or rear end of 3IS? I had 2 ton jack but returned that and got one from harbor freight 1.5 ton jack for $59. Also since front of the 3IS is low so how do you get even the low profile jack all the way to the front brace? I think rear may be easier to get to. Could you get to that spot from side of the car also? Lastly could you show me the exact spots where you could put the stands on the 3IS both fronts and rears?
Thank you in advance.

1.5T should be able to lift one side of the car, some of the weight is supported by wheels not being lifted.
I use the 2 ton harbor freight low profile jack, it even goes down deep enough for my friends 370Z.

Front jack point is between the two front wheels. Just be careful not to confuse the oil pan as the jack point! The front center brace should look similar, I think these are 2IS pics

But now with where I need to jack the car I'm thinking I should get this to give me extra reach.
