Jack mount locations?

I am going to be painting my calipers soon and was wondering if anyone could tell me the best places to put a jack and jack stands to hold up the car while I am working. Also should I do the front and then the back or one side and then the other side? Thanks for the help.

If you have an owner's manual for your car, it should state the locations under your car for jacking.

put a jack stand under the frame rail right before the behind the front wheel well and right in front of the rear wheel wells. This way you can work around the brakes and not get caught up in them.

here is a pic. of my ES with the front up and you will see what I mean.

on the 2002 ES, there is a protrusion on the front crossmember that the jack platform cups around.
The rear most crossmember has one too.
