Post Tire pressure survey for 18" wheel with Bilstein HDs

Ever since I switched to the Bilstein HDs combined with the Eibach sports spring I found that the car "feels" very differently with different tire pressure.

Currently I am back down to 32 Front, 36 Rear.

I've tried higher pressure, but the car just feels very squirly at higher pressure with the Bilstein HDs.

I am curious what tire pressure does everyone run with the Bilstein HDs?

TIA

Hi Robin,

I'm running exactly what you are. I've tried a few other combos but 32F + 36R feels about the best to me.

36/40 for me. I have the 18" hollow Technology wheels, and I feel vulnerable to potholes at any less pressure, especially the rear.
