My porsche dealership said there is no problem leaving the car "unsprung" . They agree that for long term storage, say over four months, jacking up the car is a good idea.

That's because they'd like to sell you replacement suspension parts earlier than normal.

Read your Owner's Manual. It's very straightforward.

Every automotive museum on the planet has its cars on their suspensions.
