Lol, we're talking here about storing a car on a 2 post.
And you talk about 10 weeks in total on a 12 year old car?
12 years is 624 weeks. In that scope how is 10 weeks prolonghed time?
and stints over 10 days? We're talking about completely different time spans.
I was talking about months on end and said a few weeks is ok.
Do you think a 10 day stint falls in the catagory months on end or a few weeks?
With storing a car on a 2 post, I mean that it sits 10 months/year or so on a 2 post, the vast majority of the time, using it as an extra indoor parking space like the TS intends. Like the time a garage queen sits in the garage.
So that is say over 50 times as long or so as the time you're talking about.
You still think thats ok for the suspension of a car?

Sure. But how many vertically located suspension bushings does your bmw have compared to horizontally located bushings?
It's certainly not the majority
Or do you think otherwise? Shall we do a count on your z4?
And does it matter? If 1 busing fails because of improper storage, I'd say thats already 1 too many dont you think?
