A good Web page with info on pad changes is:

Check under "Tech".

At that factory jacking points? There should be a "hockey puck"-looking pad
under your car right were the stock jack slides into the side of the car.
That's the best, IMO, place to put jackstands.

A good Web page with jacking & supporting your car info is:

I generally jack the car from the subframes, front or rear, then put jack
stands at the jack points.

Hope that helps,
