The front part of the subframe, ahead of the stabilizer brackets should be fine for what your doing.

Same here, I put mine on the frame just underneath the radiator support.

Don't forget to chock at least one of the rear wheels. Better safe than sorry!

I'd go one further, and jack up the back of the car and put two stands under the axle tubes as far out as you can. That will give you plenty of room to work, and I have to think the car is more stable that way.

I always use 4 jack stands, and chock 1 of the front tires in front and behind and the oppostie rear tire in front and behind... im a stickler for safety haha
