You are left with cambered indents in the foam. This preferable to the tire deforming against concrete and sitting there in my view; think about it.

I have PS2s and dont want the risk of flat spotting them or causing belt problems, especially with camber. Is it possible to get away without foam: of course. Will flat spots be ironed out after a while: quite possibly. Why take the risk? Foam is cheap?

Another option would be to set the car wheel/tires that you dont care about. I am not so sure letting the wheels hang off of the springs via jacks is a good idea. It may change your spring set/rate by stretching them

Hence the four cheap jack system where one can un-weight the tires without putting the car high in the air, you can have the tire still touching if you wish, as I said everyone has their own take on this issue and that's OK too. Four scissor jacks from wrecks are perfect for this.
