what effect does strut-tower brace have on '88 80 Quattro? (a nd other stuff)

[Larry C Leung]

Yup, over driving. In addition, as you were melting hte tires, you were
actually going slower, as all of the cars energy (okay, okay, my mom said
not to exaggerate, so, "a lot of") is going into melting the tires.
Proper camber and technique, lowering, stiffer springs and rear sway
should help this. I typically run at least 2 seasons on a Competition
tire, where as a street equivalent would have chunked to death.
