er the car without jackstands, so the front/rear jacking does not solve the problem.

Yes you can jack from these points, but they are designed to all be lifted at the same time, like a shop lift.
Doing this definitely puts stress on the chassis and suspension, even if just a little, plus its unsafe:
"Three wheeling" your car like this is not good and really should only be done to change your flat.
The owners manual says to jack from the front or rear axle, which wont let the chassis flex in a way it wasn't supposed to.
Either way! I try and encourage people NOT to do this.

Your statement makes no sense man. If i'm worried about damaging something on my car, why WOULDN'T i do it myself? IF I do it myself then I can do it the way I want and not have to worry about something else fucking up my pinch welds.
I come from the 240sx world, and 100% of those cars have the most flat and fucked up and rusted frame rails and pinch welds from people not giving a shit and just jacking the car where ever. I'd rather keep my brz in the best shape I can
