Floor jack lift points

For those of us who don't have a professional car lift system in their garage at home and need to use a floor jack, are there safe lift points for the front and rear? I want to be able to place the jack stands at the proper place two at a time, front first and then rear, so I'll need to use a central spot for the floor jack both front and rear. When looking at the pictures of the undercarriage in the Akrapovic installation exhaust thread, there doesn't look to be any obvious cross member either front or rear. With the bottom engine shield removed there does seem to be a crossmember in front of the oil pan, but difficult to locate with the shield in place. Is the finned bottom of the differential strong enough to handle the weight of the car to lift the rear? Any help appreciated, thanks.
