Default Air Tiburon need some numbers

After crashing my car, i rebuilt it with an air-ride system. It has been three monthes but i am still trying to find the right PSI to produce the smoothest ride. Any air-tibs out there with the magic numbers?

I usually run about 30 to 35 in front and 50 to 55 in back but my back setup is way different then yours that is why I run it that high. It will probably still ride rough due to the fact that it is a bag strut and not a bag and a shock sperate. The lower the air-pressure the better the ride but make sure you dont rub while turning.

between my speaker box and air equipment i have a pretty good lot of weight in my back end. but i always keep the back about ten pounds lighter than the front.

Just wondering what air to ride at? On a normal air-ride setup where there is a bag and a shock sperate the ride is great at lower psi. But on our cars with a bag strut it stiffens it out b/c if you let the air out it compresses the strut with lets the strut bottom out earlier. But more air in the bag makes the bag harder and less like to flex when hitting bumps making it rough as well. When I was tring to find mine I would bump the air up a little to clear the tires. Then has I drove I would bump them down. Until it rode pretty well down the highway.

I run a little lower air psi on the highway b/c the turns are not as sharp and you dont have to worry about tire rub as much.
