^^ Trust me, you'll feel the difference, and get a hell of a lot better ride. And better gas mileage too.

BTW, 22PSI at the track is a little low, might be hurting your times after the 1/8 mile because they are too underinflated.

Blacktib,
What road you driving on with that much spacing between potholes? Oh let me guess, you been driving on the golf cart trails too to get from south fort to north fort housing?

On a more serious note, Black is right about the potholes, I hit one on 467 going to the local walmart and it was big enough to make my bumper crush against the ground and cracked my rim.

Something to remember about tire pressures. Your high end european cars WILL recommend adding 10psi before extended long distance and high speed motoring.

Thanks for all the advice. I added 33 psi all around and the car dosent sway side to side as much anymore. The ride seems alot more stiff now.
