Lifting a rapide inside a garage.

Lifting a rapide inside a garage.
Hello all, a last question please, finally i only have like 120 cm on one side to lift the car, i was told the best is to set it on 2 stands, (cause i need a 20-30 cm merge near a pillar if something happen) now that i realise i do not have enough room to set the jack at a 90 degre angle, but more likely 60 degree, ( it may not move and bent) on top my floor is uneven of stones, i saw a guy saying if you want do the brakes and do it one side at a time you don't need stands,
in my situation, since the floor is uneven and i can't set the jack at 90 degre on either side, i am thinking its maybe better to lift the car with the jack and do the brake pads change like this, instead of trying to seat a car on stands with an unven floor and a jack at 60 degre angle...my jack is the kind you need to turn the handle right or left to make changes. i do not like it much. And if seting the car on one stand only rear one, lifting from midle to use one stand only very low, is it ok? so 3 wheels touch the floor and no risk of sliding, is it ok one stand only or not? .i am still waiting the 22mm socket and stands.
well, i got the responses i was looking for, i will be using wood for the stands and jack and 2 stands is a must, just got them today....
