So there are 8 lift points on FL? As far as i'm aware there are only 4 on the PF and the standard jack fits into these.

If you mean where on the car, there are pads for lifts etc. as specified in the drivers manual, fairly close to the OEM jacking points.
No i must have meant where on the planet, why would you assume i meant where on the car? Just because the whole thread is about where to jack and support an 8?
