Advice on lifting my car.

I've read the how to lift without pucks, but that was for a jack. Tomorrow, I'm goint to use a lift, where do I put the arms? Also, the reason I'm lifting it is so that I can lower it using the stock bolts. How far does that lower the car? I'm wondering because the directions for the front call for a 3/4 turn on the front nuts. Didn't seem like much, but the rear goes all the way until you have 2 threads remaining.

You should be able to put the feet for the lift at the jacking points where the pucks go. I have not had my car on a lift, but I do jack from those points (using pucks). Be careful not to crack the body panels around those front mounts.

I lowered my car by running the fronts all the way in and the rears out to 2 threads. Total drop was 3/4". Check my website for pictures.
