Default Was front air pressure do you recommend

in 17 WS6 tire when running 16 inch ET Streets in the back? I have heard that you should lower the pressure a little due to the low pressure in the rear to help the car from swaying back and forth.

Also, do you guys burnout with an A4 in just D or do you put in 2nd gear? In the past I have left in D and was able to do good burnouts. Thanks..

I run them at the highest tire recommended PSI to decrease rolling resistance.

The sway is really scary on the top end with the sway bars removed! <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

I do my burnout in 1st gear. I don't want the tranny shifting during this process. I bring it up to 5500 rpm and hold it there.

I pump my front tires up to 40lbs, if I remember.
