Car: '89 200Q 10V turbo
Spring/Shock H&R/Bilstein Sport
Wheel/Tire: 16" Audi A4 5-spoke, Kumho 712
15" UrQ Ronal, Kelly Pacemark Hi-Traction (snows)
Opinons: Car is more responsive with better turn in, less lean and less
extraneous body motions
Ride is generally unchanged except ove closely spaced sharp bumps such
as broken pavement and potholes, which can cause sharp though not
harsh body motions.
On the 16's only, the car occasionally undulates on closely spaced
smoother
bumps (close wavy pavement) causing occasional "head toss".
IMHO, the FRONT Bilsteins are somewhat underdamped (though not
seriously)
Car lowered about 1.5 inches, though the rear isn't as low as 20V H&Rs
(nor Eibachs). I wonder if this was done to help with the rear wheel
opening issue.....
Note: these are street opinions, I have not tracked this car.
