I found a nice floor jack with low clearance and am anxious to use it.
When I replaced my CV boots, I jacked the front first, one side at a time, then did the rear in the center. I don't think it matters which end you do first. It does twist the car a bit doing the front one side at a time, but that doesn't hurt anything for the few minutes it's that way. After all, Porsche supplies you a single jack to change your tire on the 986, and it only jacks up one corner at a time, just like every other car ever made.
