dont bother with an expensive one, theyre made to do the same shit. Bought mine at the pep boys register after "wash n wax" shopping for like $1.29 or some shit. Looks like a silver pen.

I use a digital one with .xx accuracy. It's a mini cooper branded one that i found on ebay, it works pretty good.

$24 for an accurate gauge with a bleed off valve. Make autox tire adjustments a ton easier.

If you really want a nice one for racing, they make one that has 2 ends and connects to both tires on the same "axle". This way you can balance your tires exactly.

I think I saw it on Summit's site and it wasn't much more.

Just a heads up.

EDIT
Sorry, it was Jegs:

Whoa. That is awesome, thank you!

Now I just have to decide if I want to spend 60 bucks on it! But I figure it'll last me a loonnnggg time so I'll probably splurge for it
