[s-cars] Your TT posting

[LL - NY]

I do that with my Saabaru in autocross, my stagger is about 4 psi, beyond
which the tail gets a bit too loose on turn exit in autocross. This is on
DOT-R rubber, stock alignment. FWIW, with the Saabaru, I run 38 front (lower
if the course is slick), 42 rear. Also, FWIW, it did work the other way when
I ran my A2 GTi in ES (quite a bit more successfully), front was still 38,
rear was 30.
