Air ride question

I can't help you in regards to your exact situation because i didn't have air on my GS when I owned one, but the front will always be heavier than the rear and require more psi to lift because the engine is in the front. I have air in my current vehicle and it works the same way.
You should read on the bag how much the max psi is for that bag. Don't ride around with that much though. It will ride like dog**** and you'll pop a bag with time. Same for too little, it will ride like garbage. Depending on the components of your setup will vary what pressure you need for the most comfortable ride. You'll find it with time and driving around at different heights. Use a tape measure to check your fender arches to see if you're even (unless you have a fancy e-level kit or something)
Also how are you monitoring your pressure? Is it a manual or digital system? What are the components of your system? Strut assemblies and the like?

My wife's first gen has been bagged for about 2 years now, and for us to drive without rubbing issues the front needs to be at 110psi minimum... but this is with 19's up front. the rear is normally around 70-80 at ride height.
its perfectly normal for the psi do be different due to the weight. Any other questions you have about air suspension in these cars just feel free to ask me
