getting car on jackstands?
hey...
yesterday i went and bought a crappy pair of jackstands for 10 bucks to take a look under my car. the problem was that i can't get the damn things under my jackpoints because the jack is in the way... they're the kind where you have to jack it up and then put them under the car... i was just wondering how the hell i can get around that withouth having to buy expensive jackstands that lift the car themselves.

Re: getting car on jackstands? (LS stretch)
The front jack point is under the RAD support Its a small hump that hangs lower than the rest of the RAD support.
Once front is lifted, put the jacks under the JACK points on the sides of the car behind the front wheels and forward of the rear wheels.
Lift the rear from the tow hook.

This is correct. It's sometimes hard to get the rear lifted high enough depending on what you're going to be doing.

lol... i'm a dumbass 
...
i've seen the team integra article before, but i didn't really pay attention to it... and as you said the images are down so i couldn't see it again. is the front jack point in the middle of the car or is it really the plates sticking down on the sides? i noticed the plates before, but they didn't seem strong enough to me.

I think those are more for the spare tire jack.

Its in the middle. The only plates sticking down that you want to use are along the sides of the car.
