[V8] Need A Diffrent Audi

[Ed Kellock]

After I got my HD's in the V8, I remembered many years earlier when I had
them in my 83 GTI and hated them as well.  Doh!

Honeslty, I'd try the Koni's with stock shocks before going with springs,
but them I don't know what ride/handling/appearance you're after.  

It's really easy to overshoot a good ride by a long shot.

I loved the Bilstein HD's in my Corrado, but of course it's a completely
different animal.  For the V8 I plan to go with the 2Bennett Street/Sport
system with Konis.
