While driving it home, I also discovered the steering was much lighter and the ride, much firmer. A quick check at Shell revealed the tyre pressure was way too high at 40 psi front and 42 psi rear. I wonder why AB does this? I've heard it happen b4 with others. Restoring the tyre pressure back to 32-35 psi brought back the ride I was more akin to. However, I noticed quite a bit of graining at the circumference of all my tyres. I discussed my findings with E46F and he was of the view that at 32-35 psi, the pressure is perhaps too low to support my 18" RFTs. I should in fact follow the specs i.e. 34-37 psi. Whilst I agree this might help to prevent the graining, I think 34-37 psi would be quite uncomfortable. He also explained why my car seemed higher as due to it being suspended for oil change and it needs time for the M-Sports to settle back.  I'm hoping to check what kind of tyre pressures you guys have on your staggered set-ups. I'm using 225s in front and 255s at the rear.</blockquote>
