The last 2 runs I did the same, lowering the rear 1 psi each. Don't think that really made any improvements, car started pushing just a bit, but some of that may have been I was driving harder, not sure.

On sealed asphalt, full stiff front with 40psi, and 10% stiff rear, 32psi looks to be a better starting point than my previous settings.
I ran into this same thing last weekend. I used to have my rears at 35psi with stock shocks and now with the Konis I have to drop the PSI down to 32psi to get a good amount of grip. My question is how do I know if 32psi is too low without the use of a pyrometer? I have been using the chalk method but i don't know how accurate that is.
