I have noticed that my front two tires look low. They are at 36 psi. Should I add more air or not worry about it?

I'm putting mine at 40 psi for my trip home this weekend. I will let you know how it feels compared to the 35-36 psi I normally run.

Anyone who says Tein/GR2 combo is not rough is straight up lying or have the smoothest streets around. Get ready for some spine tingling adventures when you hit some bumps especially on 18's+
Yeah you do have to watch out, its pretty close but it doesnt really hit. Just gotta watch out for curbs more then anything. Its pretty bad the 1st week but overall it doesnt bother me much at all. The spring rate for the teins are like 205 apprx for the front and 269 apprx in the rear so its not up there but definetly stiff enough. Lets see if I change my mind when I get 19's

Dave I used to put 40 in my front but now stick to 32, the center of the tire wore out alot faster then I wanted it to. People these days really go overkill on tire psi. It says max 52 on mine but hell 32-35 is more then enough IMO. Depends more on how wide ect... your tires are and the weight on them.

How was the ride on the Maxspeeds? Don't want Tein's, keep in mind I live in New Orleans(roads are horrendous). Also, my factory struts are about shot so I'm going to get the dealership to swap them. Are these sufficient for new springs or do I need to get new struts?

If the roads are that bad down there, then you might not want to lower.

The Maxspeeds were softer than the Teins, I just didn't like the wheel gap that I had. California pot holes and uneven pavement here sucks here too. It swallowed the bumps pretty good.
