It doesn't matter what tyre, what wheel size or what suspension you've got, the tyre pressure is relative to the weight of the car. If that is more or less the same as the standard weight, then run them at the standard pressures. Add pressure if carrying a full load (3+ people and luggage).
The only other variable is your personal preference. Some run slightly soft to get more grip and a fluid break-away; others run hard to make it feel more direct but it may break-away more suddenly. Overinflated tyres may wear quicker in the centre, under-inflated to the edges.

I find 32psi for the wheels under the engine and 30psi for the wheels with no engine above them is a safe bet. Remember also to inflate your tyres when they are cold as the pressure increases by a few psi when they heat up
