I ran 28 PSI all the way around last weekend at the Porsche/Viper Shootout & did quite well. But this was my first time to AutoX. It worked very well for me, but I don't know what PSI's would yield.

I like the look of the OEM C6 guards and want to install a set on my C5-I know there are carbon fiber ones out there but they seem too large to me. I can't seem to find a vender that sells them for a C5-the only thing I have seen is people modifying the C6 versions to fit a C5. Anybody know of a...
