However, if you jack the car up by these points, where is the best place to put the jack stands? Most of the parts under the car look rather "delicate".

It is a very strong point to lift the car especially with a trolly jack. I then block the car under the frame rails near that point. Never have any problems. On the rear I jack under the frame rails , but I have a steel plate to put between the jack post and the frame rail so as not to collapse the frame rail. Then block under the frame rails. Hope this helps. Weebs
