Try 30psi cold all the way around and see how that does. That's the tire pressure I set my suspension up to.

I bought the car last summer from a dealer in New Hampshire. I test drove it a couple of miles on a 2 lane road. It felt fine so I bought it. On the drive back to Vermont on the interstate is when I felt the hard hits on the bridge joints at high speeds.(could be normal for a Z) I only drove the car for a month last summer and only in my town. Now that I have driven it more this summer I am asking if I can soften the ride some how. According to some, it's me and not the car. Well, that's good to know I guess. I'm running 36 psi I'll take some air out and see if it helps. I love this car.

Taking the psi down to 30 psi cold should make wonder. 36 psi cold means something like 39 psi while driving in the sun, on hot asphalt, and with engine heat. That's rather stiff.

Took them down to 30psi made a big difference. Thanks, cv129 for the great advice. Saved me a lot of money on buying new tires or shocks.

will raise them up with no ill intent. Checking the tire pressure is part of an oil change service. Last edited by Spooler; 06-15-2021 at 01:54 PM. |
