Re: Ur-Quattro suspension upgrade

          Tomas, I'm not an Ur-q owner, but I am using a set of the ABT 
     springs in my 85 4000sq. As far as performance, they're great. As far 
     as comfort level............ a little bit harsh. Not too bad for what 
     I do with the car, but if you're looking for something that will give 
     you a comfortable ride for long distances, this isn't it. But if 
     you're after a good performer and can comprmise then the ABT is a good 
     way to go.
     As for a source, try JTMotorsport, they advertise in european car.
     Todd.

        Hello, I own a 1983 Quattro Turbo Coupe and I am going to be
changing the suspension. I am also going to change the shocks and the wheel 
bearings since the car has 160,000 miles on the original suspension.  I am 
wondering if any of you had tryied the ABT sport springs which should lower 
the car 1.5"inch all around and they cost about $390 or any other ones that 
you had hopefully great experience with.  If you could let me know which 
springs and which shocks you had used and also what would be good is where 
to get them for a good price. I am right know running the 8"inch rims with 
225/50/15 and I think that if these springs will lower the car that I will 
have to roll the rear fender lips because even sometimes now they rub over a 
big bump. 
Thank you in advance.
