Safe Jack Stand Location Under an RS?

Need some help. Where would be a safe location to put a jack stand underneath an RS?

I can fit my jack at the jack point and lift it safely but not sure where to put the stands.

Any visuals would be great!

Thanks in advance.

GT-3 jack stand mounting points

I have a 997 GT-3 and have used the sway bar mounting points for jack stands in the rear. For the front, I guess any rigid mounting point of the lower swing arms would be O.K.

He did some pretty significant damage to his 997 GT3 by improperly jacking his car.

I believe a company called Eagle products or similar has a jack-pad that works great for our cars. I have the adapter and it locks right into the jack spot on the 997.

Definitely looks painful! I've been wondering how to lift the car up too.

Sadly it's not an easy thing to do with the GT3s (996/977).
