I would not advise using the anti roll bar mountings to hold the weight of 
the car as this bolts on the crumple tube. You should jack the car up from 
the front cross member behind the crumple tube using a trolley jack with a 
rubber pad ( or 6 x 4 piece of wood  to spread the load and use something to 
protect the frame ) and axle stands should be placed under the reinforced 
jacking points located at the corner of the underbody where the doors meet 
the front wing.

I have also heard of windscreen's cracking from being jacked up one corner 
at a time as the underbody twists so its worth jacking from the center to 
lift the entire front of the car when ever possible.
