I jack it up using the points that you want to put axle stands under.

Without much knowledge I do the rear on the part next to the shocks (attached too the frame) and on the fron't on a small plate just inwards of each of the springs. Never had a problem with them.

I always try to jack it up under any strong part of the chasis and then put the axle stands under the subframe close to where the wishbones are mounted, as ive found the sill jacking points are a bit flimsy. Not sure where to jack it up under for the rear though so would also be interested in where people do.

Hate the fact my trolly jack doesnt fit under the car until I lift it a bit with the stock jack - and i dont even consider my car particularly low. Maybe my jack is just masseeeve.

b******s. In your "had a bad idea" thread is the real photo and the colour of your car is nothing like that above. Crap camara or not. You have adjusted the colour that much you've turned a green tree red.
