Axle stands

looking to jack the front end and safely put a pair of axle stands under, not sure where to place each one ,was thinking somewhere near the suspension frame on each side with a block of wood or similar to minimise any marring .its for an oil change ,I have ramps but I don't trust them 100% and thought jacking plus axle stands are safer also.

any pointers please ...

Where did you end up putting the jack stands ?

Are there specific jack stand attachments that match up with those hard plastic jack points on the car ?
