    Default tyre pressure? -front suspension extra low

    hi all,

    i was checking the tyres today and noticed my rear right was a 65 while the rest were 60...
    cars feeling pretty unbalanced atm.

    just unsure of what tyre pressure to put in the front tyres and the rears? The front shocks or springs are screwed and so the front is sitting ultra low while back is higher.

    Its an ae93 corolla hatch sx on stock wheels. the tyre pressure panel on drivers side has been removed so i dont know what stock tyre pressure to put in!

    thanks for the help guys

    generally toyota reccomend about 29psi, but i usually pump mine to about 33psi.

    i'd reccommend getting tyres of all the same profile though

    the main question i want to ask, should i compensate more pressure at the front since the front is sitting extra low?

    also rear right tyre is a 185/65 while rest are 60

    umm... runnign higher tyre pressure cos your suspension is rooted doesn't seem likea good idea

    better to have the different size tyre on the rear (so it doesn't slowly root your diff), but is better to have same outside diameter tyres on same end of the car...

    change tyres to same, and then fix suspension... sound easy

    Yes I'm well aware of how dangerous this temporary fix is compared to getting the suspension completely changed. Things you have to do when you're broke

    If anyone is willing to swap a wheel for free, I will make an A3 size cartoon version of you and your car? (I do graphics design).

    I'm not too worried about the bigger size wheel at the moment, would it be a bad idea to swap the current superlow Lovell Springs for stock AE92 springs (God knows how old, but I can get them for $30)?

    Cheers.
