Adam I know it is the tyre pressure but that is dangerously low.
Even for the drag strip where you are trying to get maximum grip just on take off I cant see how going that low will achieve this. Given that the tyres are the point of contact with the road they are the most crucial suspension component without good tyres and the correct pressure the best suspension in the world is useless.
At 24psi the tyres could become that spongy that they are also adding to the problem.
Even 32psi is low even though it is the recommended on most cars it can cause damage to tyres.
I am currently running my tyres at 41psi front and 39psi rear. In the winter I drop them back a few to get a bit more grip while braking.
If I am incorrect about the tyre pressure for the drag strip please correct me.
