tire pressure
I like 34 rear, 38 front, feels most balanced to me. If the track surface has less grip I might go 33 or 32 in the rears. The car feels more twitchy to me if the pressures are the same front and rear.
there has been a LOT of discussion on this topic.
here are some discussion samples (you can do a search to find more):

Since I've been using 34 all round, I've noticed that performance in both wet and dry has been much improved.
One question about this topic generally - wouldn't the ambient temperature make a difference? If so, if you lived somewhere cooler (like I do) my 34 would equate to a lower pressure than somewhere warm, no?
In saying this, I assume everyone checks their pressures with the tyres cold rather than after they've been used when the readings would be unreliable.
I've also just replaced the rears with a new pair of OEM S02s and I have found them to be as good as the tyres I've just taken off and I haven't even put 100 miles on them yet.
I'm surprised by this result and wonder what are others' opinions.
