Due to old post/thread rules your post has been moved to its own thread. The original post is below for reference.

To answer your question the best place to place jack stands on the front end for safety is at the area of the subframe....where the lower control arms connect. The subframe is what holds the engine and transaxle to the body.

Use the jacking points prescribed in the owner's manual.

Where do you guys lower it onto, and if its not too big of an inconveniance, pictures would be very much helpfull.

thanks as always,
