I've never been a fan of leaving the suspension at full droop for months at a time. I'd use flat stoppers if it were my car.

Why not? Struts are stored open, and ok, let the tires barely touch, just the tip, lol

Is there a reason you wouldn't want to leave the suspension at rest for long periods?

Scientifically, leaving a spring compressed would affect it's effectiveness in the long run.
