I want to improve the track performance of my '90 80q. It is my daily
driver, but it is also used for the occasional track event or auto-X. I am
looking at the following "areas in need of improvement", listed in order of
importance:
(1) Driver competence - but we won't go into that here...
(2) Tires - I plan on moving to ultra high performance 205 55 15s from the
current all-season 195 60 14s.
(3) Wheels - I will need new wheels (Borbet type "S") for my new tires.
(4) Eibach springs - I read several very positive posts here about
installing Eibachs.
Aside from wheel styles and tire brands, is there anything wrong with this
plan? I would buy the wheels and tires from the Tire Rack. I would
appreciate any alternative suggestions or plans. Will the extra 1cm tire
width or 15" really change anything? Would mounting 205s on the original
wheels be something to consider?
Thanks!
