I also have 1 set of Jack Point jack stands. You put a plate on your jack, lift the car on the rear jack location. When you get it high enough, you slide the circular legs under the plate and let the jack down. That way you can use the provided jack location to lift AND stand it. You only need 1 set because if you lift the car from the rear jack location high enough, it will lift the front wheel off the ground and you can slide a regular jack stand under the front jack location.
My CSS has PASM, which lowers the car by 10mm, making it too low for my jack with the Jack Point plate to fit under the car. So I stopped at my local RV store and purchased a pair of RV leveler pads. They're made of plastic and stand the car up 1.5". I just drive the rear tires onto the levelers and then jack up the car.
So with a few inexpensive items you can do all the lifting you need w/o spending a lot of $$$.

Don't know if you can use them with your lowered car, but Rhino Ramps (the plastic ones) are still less than $50 and you can get them at Autozone. I've had mine for years, they've been well worth the money. I like them better than jackstands, they're a lot more stable.
