[Es2] 5 X 112 hubs for '90 coupe quattro

[John Karasaki]

Alright, here is where we have a disconnect.  The 1993 90q uses a different 
front hub carrier (8A0 407 257/8 A) than the 1990 coupe quattro (895 407 
241/2 F).  Maybe that is why the urS4 gear didn't work for you.

The urS4 front gear, does work, perfectly, on the 1990 coupe quattro.

A MAJOR point of clarification: Rich, in Seattle used an A4 Stoptech kit on 
his 1985 turbo quattro coupe (aka urq) NOT a coupe GT.  The urq strut/hub 
assembly allows ANY brake kit designed for the 5000tq, 200tq (non-UFO) and 
A4 to be used on the URQ.

Also, the hubs on a 1.8T A4 are different that the hubs on the V6 A4.  I 
have been told, but have NOT BTDT, that he FRONT hubs from the V6 A4 are 
the ones you want for the REAR of a 1990 CQ.

HTH.

Regards,

John
