Legal tint?

The best way to find out is to call a local installer. Chances are he'll know the Legal limit for sure.

Cali Legal limits are Any % in the rear and back side windows. 70% of light must be allowed through the front side windows and nothing on the front (besides a small strip on the top)

The front side window thing is superfulous though, as you could juct roll your side windows down if you got pulled over. Im more concerned about the no front plate ticket i could get.

20% is "one past legal" in the state of WA...but I went with it anyway. It looks great. I'd never go darker...you're just asking for trouble and to go lighter defeats the purpose, IMHO.
