Please could someone tell me the optimum pressure to run S02's at for everyday driving!

I have checked out the handbook & they recomend 22psi on the front & 24 on the rear, however the fronts were previously being run at 29psi!!! Glad I checked them before permenant damage was done....

I know this is only a small thing, but it makes a big difference to the handling, so if anyone knows what pressure works best please let me know...

The pressure that works best depends on what you the driver want and what condition the suspension is in. There is no right or wrong here. On track days I run around 28-30 ib. On roads I run 22-24 sometimes abit more sometimes a bit less depending on how the car feels. The important thing is to make sure they are the same on both sides. Worth inbvesting in a decent and accurate tyre guage - the ones that come with the inflators are aything to 50-60% out!
