Question

On standard 16's I've previously run 32-34psi front and 30 back to help negate some of the understeer and this did help a bit.

Following the bumpsteer mod, I've tried 30psi all round and felt not too bad, but just wondering if anyone else has had a play following this mod...?

Is it still a good idea/necessary to keep the fronts slightly firmer ?

Cheers

I run around the pressures you put eg 32-34f and 30-32b after the b/s mod, find the car handles very nicely - this is on Eagle F1 tyres - and soon coming to the end of their life

I didn't TBMeech

But when when my girlfriend got into my car last night I said welcome to the machine

Annoying being at work today but at least scoobynet can help by ticking away the moments that make up a dull day

I'll get my coat
