Default Jack Stands???

OK. Very silly questions but could anybody tell me where to put my jackstands on my 95 Civic? I already know there are 2 jacking points on each side of the car but this points look like they are only for the scissor jack that came with the car. It makes me wonder what will happen if I place a jack stand under one of these I-Beam looking jacking points.

Thanks in advance for any help/advice.

The place where you would put the scissor jack is the same place where you wanna put your jack stands. You can also put them under the control arms, but you won't get as much lift.

Thanks AgentofDarkness. I don't have to worry about those jacking points bending? It seems unsafe to rest my jack stands (http://www.torinjacks.com/ProductDet...?ProductID=17#) which pretty much have a flat top onto these jacking points. Have you done this? Sorry about your bears. GO STEELERS!

Well thanx for rubbing it in. But you can use those jack stands, since all jackstands have a flat part. I don't think those jack stands are good for jacking your car on the control arms. Just watch the spot weld when you are lowering the car onto the jack stands to see that they don't bend. They shouldn't bend.
