I am excited to install my front Brembo rotors and Akebono Euro Ceramic pads tomorrow. One thing that always bugs me is jacking the car and placing jack stands under it. I've always used the jack spots on the outboard sides and then stuck a jack stand on what appears to be the frame rail that runs the length of the car that's about 12" in from the jack point. Is it okay to put the weight of the car on this spot? I always hate the creaking sound it makes as I lower the car onto the stand and go to the other side... I never had problems on my '01 but would hate to mess something up on my '04. Thanks!
