Maybe i am just getting ridiculous at this point but since I just rebuilt the whole suspension in my 1991 164L with OEM rubber bushings, Koni struts, B&G springs, and put on a set of Goodyear eagle GT tires I have been experimenting with different tire air pressure values and strut settings on my car to find that optimal point with my setup. I notice a difference in ride quality and handling with even the smallest changes in tire pressure and or strut settings. Currently (meaning as of this morning, might change by lunch) I am running 31lbs in the front and 29.5lbs in the rear tires with the struts set to one full turn from soft in the front and three quarters of a turn from full soft in the rear. This seems so far to be the best setup for my car but I am still wondering what other with the Koni/B&G set up have found to be their preferred combination of tire pressure and strut setting and what type of feel you are going for with that setting, i.e. balance of ride quality versus handling. I know that there hase been some talk of this in previous posting but i was hoping to get a posting that was dedicated to this topic and with a more technical understanding of how different setting may affect these cars. Thanks, Steve
