To support the back of the car?
Im changing rear springs so obviously the rear axle needs to be able to move so I can let it down a bit to remove and put the new springs in, so where is the best place?
Can't really see anywhere, the fuel tank is a big no no and the rest seems to be floor and soft?

Thanks

See where the rear beam joins on to the body? Just towards the front of the car beside those brackets there are plate like things with holes in them, I put axle stands on there the other day and it was fine.

Cool mate, just watch out for the brake/ fuel lines that run along side them
