I have 205/50/15 tires on my rota slipstream rims and the guy at Tire Rack said to put them at the factory civic specs that you see on the inside of your driver's side door.
Do you guys think I should I put the PSI at higher than factory specs for daily driving? If so, Why?

if the tire is the same size as stock then keep the psi at stock. my stock tires were 205-50-16, with the azenis now there is just more tire on the same sized wheel, therefor I need moire pressure to fill it. Even now though if the car is parked the sidewall seems like it is sagging, even though it really isnt.

No. I agree with the Tire Rack. Set your pressure at the pressure recommended for your car. If you find that you need to adjust the pressure from there, based on undesirable handling and/or uneven tire wear, then by all means do so. But the pressure recommended for your car is a good place to start.

I'm running my RT-615 205/50-15s on gsr blades at 32/30 (factory recommended pressure for G3 Integra). More pressure provides better turn in (and possibly increased gas mileage), but at the expense of ride quality, and I can definately feel the ride get worse as I pump them up.

On the flip side, my stock Michelin XGT V4s wore out the shoulder with that low of a pressure, so I'll have to wait and see if the Azenis do the same.

The factory recommended pressure for a '94-01 Integra is 35 front, 33 rear. At least, that's what it is on my '94 GS-R as well as my '01 Type R; I don't know if it's any different on any of the other models.

When you say "shoulder", are you referring to only the outside edge of the tread, or both edges of the tread? Wearing out the outside edge is not a symptom of low tire pressure. When tire pressure is too low (underinflation), BOTH edges wear quicker than the middle of the tread (and conversely, when tire pressure is too high, the middle wears quicker than both edges). If only the outer edge wears faster, it can have any of several causes - alignment problems (sometimes but not necessarily due to a lowered suspension), track driving, etc - but it's not normally due to underinflation.
