I personally wouldn't put the jack stands anywhere other than the lift points. I believe the official manual states only the lift points and the front subframe plate can be used to lift the car. Many people report using the rear differential cover without issues, but I'm hesitant to do that. I ended up getting a QuickJack lift for the house and it's been great, but it is also super expensive.

Here is what I recommend or would do if I could go back: https://safejacks.com/collections/rennstand

It basically is a jack pad that you convert to a jack stand after lifting the car up first. You attach the stand arms for raising, then remove them for lowering.
