I'm looking to confirm the correct way to put the series I on a two post lift. (yes, I've searched and looked at photos). I'm picky about this because it is a safety issue and potentially damaging to the car. Obviously jack points like the diff are not an option with a two-post lift. I've seen some jack stand points called out for the rear stanchions, but this doesn't look like a good option to me.

Should I place the lift arms under the frame rails or directly under the cross member bolts? This is what I would normally do with my previous car: front on the frame, rear under the sub frame bolts.

Any help for a newb from you guys that put these on a lift regularly? I need to swap the radiator tomorrow.

Edit:NFPA70 flame suite on

Thanks

put them in the same place you'd put a jack as recommended by mazda. i've seen my car lifted so many times over the years this way I've lost count.

It tells you in the manual, it's the pinch welds.

I have had mine on the pinch welds a thousand times...it isn't an issue. There is no secret place to put them on an RX-8

We never lift from the pinch welds, it crushes them. We lift from the frame rails.
