32F 35R is more like it surely? I might be wrong because Ive been struggling with pressures for another vehicle, but I believe so.

Usually higher for the fronts I think - 02 WRX Wagon is 33F 32R standard.

Yeah, a couple of psi more in the front.... Dunno why, but seems to be the accepted norm.

More weight from the engine over the fronts maybe?

I've been playing around with various settings over the past couple of months, and seem to have found:
29 F
28 R
...as the setting that seems to suit my driving style. You guys are running a bit higher pressures than me though!
I tried 32F/31R but the car seemed to understeer like crazy (on 17" wheels).

I would have thought somewhere like powerstation would be able to give the best advice, what with all the geo set ups they do etc. Anyone friendly with any of the guys there and could ask?
Or Andy F etc if they have any opinion?
Im still trying to find the best for my 215 40 17 yoko pradas on a classic.
Currently trying 32 and 31.
