For how long do you plan to place the car on jack stands?– race feverCommented Apr 4, 2016 at 20:08

1In a perfect world, 2 or 3 hours. Just long enough to change the driver side caliper and check the pads. If things so bad, could be 48 hours (over a weekend) while I figure out how to fix whatever I managed to break off.. :)– cdunnCommented Apr 4, 2016 at 20:13

you could place stands on the subframe mounting points. once weight is on the stands you'd be hard pressed to make the car fall off. as to how high you can go i you'll be limited by the height of the stands but tbh you only need to get the tires a few inches off the ground to check pads/replace the caliper. you could easily do this job in under an hour.– BenCommented Apr 8, 2016 at 0:26

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. fuel-system), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
