Dropped 2 psi I the back and 2 KYB 'notches'. Wasn't able to
test fully, but
might be too much. Wow, this kind of adjustability is
almost freaky.

Yes it is.
I did a test & tune autox a bit ago and started at
35 psi (running temp). Thing skittered around like... I
don't even know. It was almost acting like a high-powered
muscle car. It was terrible. Just 2 psi made it awesome. I
might try and go a little lower, but I don't think it'll do
much. Right now it's so neutral - everything else is
original, which means my shocks are garbage but it still
handles nicely (can't wait until I get fresh stuff on
there!) I haven't felt the need to have a different rear
pressure so far.
Anyway, you can lose 10 psi from my Jeep tires and
it's not that big of a deal! I once drove our '91 with ~44
on one side and ~25 on another (we'd just picked it up from
a stealer) and it just felt like it needed an alignment, but
it was very managable. I'd think I'd be all over the road if
the Miata were so uneven.
