What is the logic for that. It is the same with the ek's as well and it is so annoying. Its like how the jack points arnt wide enough on the side to jack the car up and slide a jack stand in at the same time http://hfboards.com/images/smilies/bangHead.gif

I thought it was because of the weight distribution of the motor....

Turns out its not cause the car ends up on a nice angle once she's pretty high lol.

It shits me cause the jack stand on the drivers side gets under easily but the passenger side one is knockin on the side skirt.

Gotta raise it up so that the drivers side one is about 2 times higher then the other....

Kinda scary. Looks like the car is gonna slide out the garage.

Hardly an issue when you have a hoist ;)

gotta be careful when jacking on th EG's. The bottom of the radiator support tends to bend. Put the jack at the right spot and jack it up. There is a reason behind why honda put the jack point to the passenger side.
