Would there be any issues if I changed the pads one wheel at a time with the jack that came with the car? Thanks!!

Dont do that. Get a real jack you dont want that flimsy thing failing on you.

If you like having limbs crushed by 2800 lbs of metal, sure. Do that.

Get a jack and some jack stands. They can be had for fairly cheap (like $50 for a jack and 2 stands if you shop around) and you won't risk life/limb for a brake change.

We've lost too many aspiring and seasoned enthusiasts to bad safety. Thank you for going to get the stands. Get stand pads too or buy some hockey pucks to guard your pinch welds (there's a how-to if you search for it.)

The jack stands are fine but you will need a low-profile jack to get under the car. The one in the picture is too high.

Pay once and get the brollic one. Low profile is like 18 inches long with a 4 foot handle. Either standard or aluminium.

When I first bought a jack I got that one and realized quickly it wasn't good for anything more than a tire change and it barely lifted high enough for that.

Look at the Pittsburgh low profile one. Super heavy but works with the twins
