Get ramps. They are safer than jack stands.

The proper jack points are in the FAQ. Also, the owners manual.

"proper jack points"?? I've owned my 03 S2000 since new and the only way I ever put jackstands under my car is on the frame rails. Never had any issues and doing it that way prevents this type of screwup.

Yes, proper jack points, as well as a thread with some discussion on the points, frame rails, etc.

But why the only jack points are on the sides? Using the frame rails is equally acceptable. That is the strongest point of the car.
