I would not lift the car that way. it is designed for preventing twist, not
designed for supporting the whole front end of the car.
use standard jack points  to lift car always.

  I have one of those - No dont jack on it. I personally use the rear
wishbone mountings if im not using the jacking points themselves

    Hey all, I installed my Eurosport 4 point subframe last night. It went
on
    really easy, I hardly had to enlarge one of the rear holes and pretty
much
    only took off a little paint.

    Now I'm wondering if the middle of the subframe would be a good place to
    jack the car up????? Right where the bars in the middle cross to make an
X.
    Some of the weight would go to where the swaybar mounts so that would be
ok
    but the rest would go to the front. I tried to jack it up there last
night
    but got freaked out by a huge cracking sound. It turned out to only be
the
    block of wood I had between the jack and the frame had cracked but I
didn't
    try again. Anyway, let me know what you all think and if any of you have
    tried this. It sure would be nice to jack the front up from one point.

    BTW: The subframe really makes a nice difference in the car's handling,
it
    real feals nice and tight now in turns. I now have that, a 16 valve rear
    sway bar, and the upper front stress bar that goes accross the engine
and
    the handling is way better than stock. Now I just need a bigger front
sway
    bar and new suspension but that will wait till after I save my money.
