Anyone use a 2 post lift to work on their car and use it to store a GT3 when they aren't working on their car. With GT3 being a ball joint car. is drooping while suspending the car. a concern?

I have a Tuxedo four post storage lift. If you want an economical lift then its a great option. However, I do find myself wanting to get rid of it and buy a single post lift. A single post lift makes the space a lot more open. YMMV

Make sure you know what you are getting.
I'm wondering why you suggest that 1 post lift is not good for storage? They are actually referred to as "parking lifts". I've had a single post Bendpak for 20 years.

Agree with the above, a single post is expensive and you cannot move it without serious professional help but if they are built right they are an awesome choice for storage and don’t get in your way like a four post lift might.

A traditional 1-post lift raises from the center of the car and wouldn’t allow anything parked below the raised car. Yours may be different…

@Ksdaoski is correct. The one post parking lift is either on the right or left of the platform... Definitely not in the center.
