Which other thread?  There's thousands on here  :grin:

I'll have to have a play around, as I found anything lower than 35psi to be a bit flat and unresponsive.

full front 2.3 rear 2.6
partial front 2.1 rear 1.9
I was using them before and you recommended I raise them a little because I didn't like the way it felt!  :grin:

God, fussier than a woman some people ;)  Hehe yeah I'll have to have a play around with them, see what feels good.  Need whatevers best for MPG as well.

The Forge TIP is waiting at the UPS depot for me!  I'm thinking of trying to fit it myself, as I really need to save money, and I think I might be able to manage it.  Then next on my list is a rear ARB.

Does anyone want to go halves for a front Eibach ARB?  :evil:

Try 32 psi all round, Bob.

I think 35 is way too skitish, IMO.

I have to say I didn't find the Eibachs harsh at all in Ivor's ride the other day :huh: Firm yes, but not "really" hard, no.
