95 Prelude Jack Stand Points? Are these locations safe (pictures)
Just wondering where I can put my jack stands, I have a set of 4 jack stands that are "U" shapped on top such that the tops of the "U" would damage my car if I put them under the pinch weld points in front of the rear tires and behind the front tires. Here is a picture of them...

I have some pictures below and was wondering if these would be safe places to jack the car.
The first picture is of the rear, can I put jack stands under where I have circled?
The second picture I put a box around what I think is the frame, is this a safe location to place my jack stands?
I don't want to do something stupid and get myself crushed, so of course I am making very sure I am doing this right.

Put it under the frame and you'll bend it, just put them where the 4 normal points are that stick down past the side skirts. Jack the car from the tow hooks, some people get all confused and lift it from the reinforced points.

I've never bent my lift points using jack stands, you're not putting them in the right place, the 4 points stand out and are hard to miss.

The situation is hard to describe, here is a link to what my jack stands look like.

It's ok, it is apparent that I will need new jack stands with flatter tops, or go back to what I have been doing, which is to pull the tops out of my jack stands and use the base only

yeah, get the small size jack stands, I think I paid $30 for the jack and stands. They should have more than enough strength to hold up the car, and the U will be shallower, fitting on the pinch weld without damaging the car. Also, I have used the points in front where the front cross member bolts to the car body as a very strong place to put stands, although there isn't anything really there to keep the car on the stands, so level concrete if your using stands. If you are on gravel/dirt use drive-on ramps.
