I've always had issues with this due to the very little metal contact patch that honda provides for the jack. how do you jack it up and fit the jacks under the metal or are there other support points that I don't know about?

 

You can jack the front up using either the towhooks or the front crossmember(there's usually a tab slightly offset to the driver side). You can jack the rear up using the rear towhook.

 

I used to use my front tow hooks, but they ended up bending, and now I have a traction bar and refuse to bend it. as for the rear tow hook... it doesn't seem sturdy enough... correct me if I'm wrong.

 

ehh
ur tow hooks should not bend just from jacking up/down
I use mine EVERY TIME
because its the only place i can fit my jack

i use the rear one any time i'm going to use the rear as well and its been fine.

though i do have a 92cx so its pretty light i guess...

 

I have a cx as well, and they bent up real bad.

only locations i use when jacking up to the max

 

I would like to add though that if you have a traction bar that you most likely will not be able to fit the jack in the location that is shown in the picture. I use the tow hook area of my traction bar but I put a 2x8 inbetween the cup of the jack and the bar so that it does not scratch the bar. Then when I'm dropping the jack down onto the stands I use another 2x8 inbetween the lift points (where a shop lift would fit to pick the car up) and the jack stands.
