what's your tire PSI set at?

i too thought the kyb's were firm (which I liked).. felt like my car's handling improved a lot.. but after they settled.. now they are pretty soft.. I think I installed mine early november now I think about it..

only reason i asked was that at 35 psi, it was firm..
you probably want to check.. the tire guys can air them up to 40 if they wanted to, to get the TPMS light off..
i had to drop it down to 31psi because sh!tty boston roads were wayyyyy tooo bumpy..

now it's overall soft, but i need it soft to eat up the f in bumps here in this g@y city.
