This is just toooooo much air in front! Agreed, this will make the 
steering real light, but it's too much pressure! The car will be 
twitchy at speed.

As has been said here, many, many times before, you need a differential 
of 8-10 pounds between the front and rear. If the rear was 35, which is 
plenty high, the front should be not more than 25-27, which is plenty 
high. Something more like 22-24 and 32 is probably better.

Please trust us on this. Set your pressure correctly. Be sure your 
suspension parts are good, all the bushings etc., then get a good 
alignment.
