Hi All,

What is a good pressure for when the car is off the ground?
That is, a normal pressure of 275 PSI on the ground is equivalent to ??? with all four wheels of the ground?

I want to set it so that I have some chance of it being around the mark when I lower the car to the ground.
That is, I will have some chance of a reasonable ride height which will obviously need some fine tuning once settled.

Thanks

Can't remember actual numbers but guess at around 230-240psi. It isn't a huge difference.

The technique is to pump to 300 PSI (even a little over)...drive it around for a couple of days till it all settles down...then adjust ride height to your liking...

[Edit: usually after disassembly/reassembly]
