I know where the jack points are for the included scissor jack, but what if you want to use a floor jack and put jack stands underneath? Where do you jack up the car and where do you place the stands?

I'll be doing that pretty shortly to put my Hotchkis lowering springs on. I plan to jack each side of the front up under the lower a-arm and put the jack stand under the jacking point on the body. The same thing can be done on the rear also. I haven't looked but you also might be able to jack the whole rear of the car up under the center differential.
I did install the Hotchkis springs this weekend and I used the lower a-arms to jack each side up. I put the jack stands underneath the factory jack points. I worked fine.
Cool, thanks. Did you put anything between the A-arm and the jack to distribute the load and prevent marring, or did you just put the cup right on the metal?
I just jacked it up metal against metal. I tried to make sure the cup was set so it wouldn't move. I've got the rubber pads for my jack stands.
