Default best place for jack stands?

i cant seem to figure out what the best place to put them is...if i use the jacking point to lift the car, i have no way of getting the stand under there...i thought about putting it on the two long "rails" that are underneath the car, but it looks like when i lower the car it is making them bend...

that's how i normally would lift up my crx too...

jack it up on the front radiator mount, place jackstands on "rails" near the side skirts. that is how mine is sitting right now in my garage.

w00t, just changed the oil now...

im happy there is that spot...all i had before there on my crx was a xmember (no mounting point) and i never used it because my luck it would bend...

I usually use those stock Honda jacks and jack the side and then slide a jack to the front and voila.

Drive on a 2x4 on one side if youre too low, or get a lower profile jack(T3k C)

Much easier to drive on a board then jack side, then jack front.

Walmart has some super awesome jackstands. like 2 ton, and the lowest youll ever find, and at 10 for a pair, its unbeatable.
