Default Winter Storage - Lowering Springs

Good day,
I asked about winter storage last year and was told that I shouldn't use jack stands, but to leave the car on the wheels. However, that was with the stock suspension.
With lowering springs, specifically the M-FR3-MGTA kit from FRPP, do I do the same thing? It's a '12 GT

Thanks all,
Chris

I don't see it nattering one way or another as long as the tires are properly inflated...

People let classics sit for decades

In Canada, full tire pressure and jack stands lowering springs or not.
It just gets too cold up there. And a battery tender would be nice as well...
The vehicle weighs the same with the stock springs or with lowering springs.
Hence the load on the tires will be the same.
Unless you want flatspotted tires in the spring, its jackstands for you.
Just dont jack her by the diff pumpkin...
Thats a BIG NO-NO.
