Default Air bag pressure

What pressure should I run in my right rear air bag?

I have no idea where to start.

Hi Ken. W/my '02 A4 SS w/17" Nitto's, boxed lca's, 3.23's---basically stock setup, I run 13-15 lbs. I'm sure different tire combos, converters, gears, etc. would change things, but start there and you should be o.k. Best wishes.

I run 18-20 in mine seems to work best. the easiest way is to find a place you can go do burnouts and compare the marks you leave. you want the marks to be equal....with no air the left tire leaves a bigger blacker wider mark...the more air you add the closer they get untill finally the right side gets equal.

I tried 15 PSI and it still needed more.... I tried 20 PSI and it did hook and luanch better. The third time I tried 30 and it worked pretty good.I still wasnt happy with it though. I pumped it up to 45 and its pretty damn striaght now.

It will pull both wheels the same now insted of the left being higher.

Thanks for your help guys.
