I just put these on my '89 100Q about 3 weeks (1000 miles) ago.
So far, I love them. I replaced the much-touted Comp T/A VR4's
with them, and must say they are at least equals for much less $$$.

They are smooth, quiet, quite grippy, and very responsive and
predictable. Others mentioned that they are fairly sensitive to
pressure, and I agree. 2-3 pounds makes a big difference. I
tinkered for a while, and have settled on 38 pounds all around.
I may drop the 36 in back, though.
