The words measure twice have great application here.

Very nice, I bought a lift this year for a different purpose (had to pull the engine out earlier this year to do the variocam guide rails), but after enjoying the 60 degree weather today with the top down. I filled the tank, washed, waxed and put it to sleep for the winter .

I like the car combo too. c4 ZR1 nice choice.

Here is mine as of today, think I am going to leave it off the ground for the winter no worries about flat spots when the nice weather returns

Leaving the car with the suspension hanging is bad for the strut cartridges.

Thank you, good to know. I will put it back down.. I am assuming it would not matter if I took the weight of the wheels off?

The car needs to be sitting on the tires. Porsche put out a TSB on this subject years ago, telling dealers how to spot that the car had be stored with the suspension hanging, damaging the struts, and they were not to warranty repairs if it had.
