Default New cobra + Question

Hey guys, I am back into mustangs again (sold my vette) and now own an 07 GT500!



Awesome car, has a borla exhaust, FRPP intake/tune and the thing is an animal. I am about to swap the brake pads out, but I cannot find the jack points for the life of me. I am well aware of the pinch weld designated spots for the factory jack. I am jacking with a floor jack, and would like to support on jack stands like normal people, but people over at other forums don't understand this. Is the pumpkin (I am aware of the controversy) a proper jacking point, while the axles proper support points for the stands? or should I only lower it onto jack stands on the pinch welds (this could be difficult with normal jack stands, too wide of a face contacting the weld). Any help would be much appreciated, thanks guys!

Hey GREAT CAR! Welcome to the Snake world...as far as jacking...check the owners manual...shows the jack and stand points...I use 2 jacks on both the front and rear...lift it in stages...never do I use the pumpkin method...I use flat top stands for the front...cradle type for under the axles..

No black is the fastest color.
Why do you think you need that racing wing on your car?

LOL just joking!
But black is by FAR the fastest people!
