[QUOTE="Pep, post: 118142, member: 3248"] I wouldn't recommend removing tires from your car unless you have a way to support the suspension in a close to normal position. If you unload the suspension of a street car for multiple months without doing anything for the suspension you unload the bushings in the position they are used to and it is NOT good for them at all to have the weight of the suspension putting load on the bushings essentially 180 deg from where the norm is. This is from two different mechanic friends of mine that I talked to before wintering my Camaro for the first time. I had planned to put the car up on jack stands and just let the suspension hang and they clued me in pretty quickly about doing that long term. [/QUOTE]
