A little 2x10 action to drive the car up on to grant ample room, and the aforementioned Long Reach/Low Profile Daytona jack is what I do. I jack up from the subframe, and I've been very pleased with the Daytona. Coupons came around from time to time on the Daytona jacks, I also have my old Pittsburgh jack around for situations where I need to apply pressure/lift something heavy into place, but the Daytona has been my workhorse and has been good to me.
For jackstands, I like sets that ratchet and have the locking pin -- just a little extra peace of mind. I got a set from Chicago Pneumatic on Amazon, the feet have a little welded pad on them to keep them from sinking into your driveway. A pair of 3T were ~$55 IIRC. More than I paid for my older-than-dirt HF jack stands but in the grand scheme of things, a quality set of jackstands is worth the money in comparison to if something were to go wrong.
