Have a play around with higher pressures at the front. I've found this helps to compensate a little for the extra weight over the front of the newer cars. My MY01 running on 18" F1s is set to 35 (or 36) front, 32 back. If you don't like it, change it back. Doesn't cost you anything and you might find some benefit from it

Chris is right- I usually keep 3psi between front and rear (front higher). I've been experimenting with 36 all round and it's a little, how shall I describe it- 'entertaining'

My usual setup is 32F 29R, just play around with it until you are happy.
