How did you get the car onto Jack stands? Sorry my ownership is only a few days old so far and I haven't seen a broadly accepted method for getting on jackstands yet considering the small lift pads.

I like my method, very safe and gradual. Buy a pair of 10" adjustable wheel cribs (each wheel crib is two 5" sections), and a pair of esco low profile jack stands. Raise from rear jack pad, place one 5" crib under each wheel. Go to the other side, raise by rear jackpad, place 10" under rear wheel, esco stand under front jackpad. Go back to first side, move 5" wheel crib from the front to the rear (so now 10" in rear), place esco stand up front. You could do it all in one go per side (full crib in rear, esco stand up front), but is just a little more sketchy since the car is so tilted at that height. I've done it all at once and it was fine though.

Amazon has wheel cribs if you need them quickly.

I found the 10" height to be perfect and I can still use a low profile creeper. If you are a bigger guy though or just want more room, you may want the 12" height. Keep in mind of jack limitations though at those heights, your jack is going to have to be able to get very high. I've got the daytona 3 ton and it i think it gets pretty close to its max height to be able to get the 10" cribs underneath (you have to account for wheel droop)

Hi @Brokenblinker,

You may already know this, but the Emira has a very strong aluminum beam with a middle sunken groove going around the bottom frame with the lift points identified by a re-enforced aluminum plate on each corner. However, you can essentially use any part of that surrounding beam to lift the car to position your jack stands. I purchased square rubber stand pads on Amazon (first 2 pictures below) and cut one of them to a width of 2.75", using a hacksaw, to make it fit perfectly inside that beam groove to avoid damaging any of the under trays or bolts when jacking up the car. I purchased the jack stands pictured below, also on Amazon, and they work really well giving me around 22 inches of clearance when placed at the max, with the 1/2" rubber pads I use under them (mostly to protect my garage floor or outdoor pavers). Hope this helps.
