Jack stands

So i need to lift my rcf and place it on jack stands to paint my calipers. My jackstands will not fit properly over the pinch welds. Where are the best spots to lower the vehicle onto jack stands w/o damaging anything? Thanks!

Thanks, i may give those a try, but am afraid they may not hold up to the weight of the RC-F. Have you used them?

I picked up a metal adapter from eBay. It worked well during my exhaust swap.

I used a floor jack to raise the front of my RC 350 to make room for standard autozone jack stands when I painted my calipers. Had the thing on 4 jack stands for 10 hours...no issues.

Where did you place the jacks? I am afraid of damaging the pinch welds based on the design of standard jack stands.
