question for the suspension junkies

i am putting my car in storage this winter and was wondering if its better for the car to sit and stands instead of keeping my wheels on it, any thoughts?

what i've done in the past is put cinder blocks under each front spring and the back control arms and then take the tires off the car and leave about 20 psi in them for the winter

What he said, but I'd use jack stands. Cinder blocks aren't to be trusted with that much weight on them, not by me anyway.

i'm sorry..they aren't cinder blocks so to speak. they look like cinder blocks but are solid, not the ones with the holes in them.
