Default Jack Point on 2006 GS300

I was planning on changing brake pads on my 2006 gs300 this weekend and was wondering where the proper jack points are located in the front and rear are located.

In the user manual it only illustrates the two points on the side rails.

Sorry this may sound like a stupid question, but you all are a wealth of knowledge and would rather do this properly!

What do you mean? My old pads had an obscene amount of brake dust coming off of them, so I ordered new pads from Sewell Lexus. Be aware there are two different types of OEM pads for the 2006 GS300 RWD.

The initial front pad I ordered looked a lot like the rear pads (kind of squarish/rectangular) but much larger, was incorrect. They mentioned it was a newer type of pad with less brake dust, but does not have as good of a stopping power. They needed my VIN # in order to determine if my vehicle was an asian or US model, which I wasn't sure why since I thought all GS300s here are US model?
