the factory jack points are right along the car's frame rails (unibody style) theres no way they will get messed up.
When jacking the car up (And ive done this plenty enough) I jack by the jack points, engine crosmember, and the rear diff, and in the case of my fwd svx, the rear tow hook

I'd have to disagree with the use of the rear diff though - it rips the two rubber mounts that you can see from the rear of the car. At the very least it compresses them as they are now taking the weight of the rear of the car.
