where do you put the jack stands?

Hmmm, Did I make a mistake for oil changes by getting the shorter jack? According to Rocketman's post it seemed like the shorter one would work fine. I would prefer the shorter version if it works, since it won't take up as much room. Otherwise, I will have to change the order ASAP. Thanks for the advise.

Is the main rear suspension strut obvious to the untrained eye?
Thanks again for all the info. This has been very helpful. I refuse to pay the dealer close to $300 for a simple oil change, plus I am going to put cups on the stock rims for use on track days anyway.

You can see where I have them placed in this pic...
Another shot to show you the spread.

Ahh, so it's the portion where the sway bars go. Any pics of where you place the jack on the engine to raise the car?
I also need to find the thread of doing an oil change. I understand that there are two filters.
I feel like I am taking a correspondance course in auto mechanics.

here is the index link of DYI's from renntech

There is a picture of crankcase where you want the jack pad to go for lifting the back end of the car so you can put jack stands under the suspension truss. You can see it on the oil change DYI link.
Line the jack pad up under the seam below the drain plug that has an arrow pointing to it.
