Question Tyre pressures with prodive geometry

Got my geometry adjusted to prodrive settings last week at Elite in Essex - I've got an '03 UK STi, standard springs, etc. I've just noticed that the tyre pressures are way up - am I supposed to be running higher pressures to get the benefit from these geometry settings? If so, anyone know what they should be?

Cheers.

Errr.......yeah. That's the problem - I checked them & reset them to standard without thinking. I know, what can I say? Brain-dead.

Mike Wood at Prodrive recommends 32 psi all 'round.

Depends on what wheels and tyres you have on the car. What do you have fitted?

Front 33 rear 31 on mine with springs and PFF7's seems to work well.

Cheers. I've set 'em to 33/31 for now - guess I'll just have to play around until I get a good set-up.
