What about upgrading the OEM components? Clearly the engineers at Mitsubishi didn't put them on for added weight or looks.

FWIW when I put my car on jackstands in one garage it only sits on 3 jacks stands since the floor has settled some. My solution was to put the jackstand on a tile in that corner.

In my other garage my car sits perfectly on a 4 jack stands. Moral of the story. Yes the evos chassis is extremely stiff. I bet your garage is slightly uneven hence the issue. Does it always happen on the same corner?

Also my car gets jacked up by the front lower race where the tow hook and lower motor mount attaches. There is a nice pad or jacking point there. In the rear, I use my diff, oh my sweet sweet rear diff Thanks btw for making me get it I also use a hockey puck for good measure.

I had mine on jackstands for 2 years on the pinch welds. Mine seemed to be the front right that had to raise up higher to get it to touch. No issues though sitting that long on stands.
