I keeep mine around 32 psi, I only do local/highway driving though so I'm not sure if you would need a diff pressure for racing. Hope this helps...

Take a look at the side of your tire for the max pressure the recommended here is to keep it @ 4-6 psi below max (when the tires are warm of course). Different tires = different psi mainly due to how low the tires ride.

30 psi for my current setup is way too low and overfilled for my stock ones.

I assume you are talking about me?

Yes it is harsh. Harsher than the stock tires but thats what you get when you combine an SE + low profiles.

If you leave the tire pressure too low eventually you will dent your rim.....

If you want low profs with a smooth suspension you should spring for the AGX shocks.

Fronts will always seem flat. Like I said take a look at the side of your tire take about 4 from that and you should be fine.

Your tires are low profiles and the manual does not apply in this case. Listen to the guy at the tire shop.......
