[urq] re-quattro-ing a quattro - ALSO

[j.koenig]

There is such a thing as out-teching an older suspension design with modern tire sizes.  I 
bet the period tarmac rally cars changed out a lot of bearings and bushings and hubs back 
in the day.
My two-cents worth...

John, my own experience is similar to yours, I just hadn't got to the built engine yet. 
Now I just want the 20v for reliability and smoothness.

FWIW, my car had 17x8 wheels on it when I got it.  I bought a set of nice Fuchs for Winter 
tires and I've ended up putting all seasons on them and leaving them on for 5 years now. 
They look better on the car, and feel better on most roads.
