Where is the best place to place a trolly jack on a G3 Impreza sedan.
When attempting to jack using the front tow hooks, the car does not get raised enough

The area in the red box is the pinch welds where the scissor jack is placed, I know this is where I place the jack stands, but can I use the areas to the side which are shown as a green box safely?

I know shouldnt use the lower control arm as a jack point as it is a curved surface and as well as being a suspension component.
