Others are saying to lift the whole back of the car, secure it and drain the oil to be used again once the adjustment has been done. (some say that oil does not require draining..)
My first concern is the side lifting safety.
my second concern is oil spill (I do have the ROTHSPORT oil valve installed in the S hose) .
your opinions and experiences will be appreciated.

To lift from the side, aircooled 911's have a plastic plug in the bottom side of each rocker panel. Remove plug and insert a jack plate (available here through Pelican) Fiqure 3 in link below. Both wheels can be removed by jacking the car from this center point. See below for other safe lifting points.
