Couldn't give you any figures mate at all but sit it on level ground and see how the tyres are sat, under/overinflated. Also you should be able to tell it's the right pressure by doing some steady driving and seeing how it feels.

Looks nice though!

Cheers

It seems to sit, and drive perfectly at 34 all round. When i got to the garage to do it, FR was 21, FL was 31, RR was 31, RL was 22, so now its even it drives on the road in a straight line lol

Im happy, just need to lose about 40mm out of the ride height and Im onto a winner
