These are not the tinny cheap ones that most auto parts stores sell, that can bend if you don't put the weight on them right. They are HEAVY duty ones that commercial garages use.
Just my 2¢.

I heartily agree with Spinnaker. I always use the pin and post type jack stands. Considering all the other costs involved in Boxster maintenance they are a very worthwhile investment. Call me paranoid, but when tires come off I use 4 jack stands and place a wheel under the car as as last ditch insurance in case of catastrophic failure.
