Hi I have a 59 with a cpp dropped spindle set up and an air ride system,so it goes pretty low,This may seem a silly question but what is the best pressure to run this at?(the compressor has a cut of 135-140 psi) is about 95-100 okay? as if i go too much lower (less than 80psi) i have clearance problems with the front tyres and arches on turn

I run about 60 psi at each bag and my ride height is about 3" off the ground, safe for local driving. my tank pressure switch is a 120psi.

You should design the system so it rides best at ride height, what psi that will be must be calculated based on the bags used and the weight of your car, I´m sure the guys at Ridetech can tell you what´s usual in your case...
How does it feel when you drive it?
I would determine where I like the ride best, note the psi and make adjustements to the system based on that!
If you like the ride at 80 psi then fine, if your tires rubs, take action on that instead (change size, offset etc.)
See what I mean?
Start with a drive to know where YOU like the ride (not to stiff or to spoungy and get a baseline).
On my 57 I´ll ride between 60-70 psi up front and 25-40 in the rear depending on the situation..
