Default Where to place jackstands?

Ok, I've got an '02 Z06 and I bought the billet jacking pads. Now, I am going to be doing some brake mods today and wanted to put the car up on jackstands. I'm doing the DRM front brake ducts, stainless braided brake lines, speed bleeders (if I can find the part number and find them) and cleaning the wheels and removing the center caps. I know how to fit the billet jacking pad into the cup in the car and jack it up, but where do I place the jackstands? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hey Dude! :hat I did the brake thing today myself... (Eradispeeds, Hawk autocross pads and Bias Spring) I jack up the rear by the cross member and place 2 jack stands under the rear. Then I go to the left side and use the oval shape jacking puck to lift the car all the way up (20") and place a jack stand under the cross member just behind the engine. I do this on each side and when I am finished I have the car on (4) 6 ton jack stands!! believe me that Mo Fo aint going anywhere. To let it down I reverse the process.

Take Care,

vetterdstr :cheers:
