Letting Shocks sit for the whole winter in storage?
I did a search and came up with nothing. I have a set of Apexi N1 coilovers and i am about to store my car for the upcoming winter months. I was wondering, would it harm the shocks if i didn't put the car on blocks? Also, i am getting mixed answers as to either change the oil or not? Some say do and some say don't.....should i? Thanks.

Change your oil before storage. As part of the combustion process your motor loi gets various acids in it. The acids will eat at gaskets as well as metals. The longer you leave the used oil in the more damage. That's why oil changes are listed on a xxxx miles / or / x months basis whichever comes first.
