This is where I am having issues with my research as I am seeing many people go the way that Deacon has mentioned, and I believe I have seen many go the way you are describing as well.

I was/am having trouble conceptualizing how it looks or sits when only the one side is supported by the jackstands, that seems like the most worrying point to me.

Next time you have your car up, if you wouldnt mind taking a shot of the one side supported, it would be quite helpful as to where I am putting my money!

Also, are these the shorter ones you're referring to?

That's the ones I bought, and from that seller too. I would just buy two sets, cause you may want to have the car completely off the ground at some point as I later learned and had to order another set.

I was also a little worried at first when lifting the car and resting it on just one side, but others here assured me it was perfectly safe and wouldn't hurt anything. The frames on these cars are amazingly rigid. I just had it lifted again last week to install a Borla exhaust and some BMR suspension parts. Imho, the lift pads combined with the Esco jack stands is the way to go on these cars.
