Default Mods and storage!!!

1. I was thinking about getting a coil over setup over the winter months. I want the adjustability and the improved performance.
A. Those of you who have this setup, how do you like it?
B. How has the handeling and ride improved.

2. Also with winter on its way i was wondering the proper way to store my vette .
A. Should i add something like stabil?
B. Should i put the vette up on jack stands to decompress the shocks and get the tires off the cement?
C. should the car have a full tank of gas?

Thanks guys for any input.

What is this winter storage you speak of? lol

I'd vote for the full tank with something in it just in case of water intrusion. How long is winter...3-4 months? I'd let it sit on the tires probably.

I always fill the tank right up, add fuel stabilizer and remove the battery. I don't start the car for a good 6 months.

Fill it up, add fuel stabilizer, and stuff it with dryer sheets to keep the rodents out. They hate the smell.

I've never jacked mine up for the winter, but I am considering it this year.
