Lowered air pressures

Local construction with corrugated concrete pavement has caused me to lower pressures. Now at 36 Front, 34 rear. Car seems to work firn, and ride is substantially improved. Anybody gone lower? AS

Exactly. You should just adjust your shocks...

Above observation appreciated. I've bent rims with standard pressures, so I guess the concern is "more frequent" bent rims. I like the standard shock set-up for the track, and don't look forward to the extra effort of adjusting back and forth. If I bend a rim, I"ll confess. In the interim, the ride is a lot better. AS
