Re: '90 Coupe q - springs/ shocks - was there an answer?
> Also, I'm going to get a new set of tires. Monetary constraints require I keep the original speedlines, so I have been looking at 15" tires. I currently have Yoko 509s. These seem pretty good. Nice and sticky, but with pretty bad treadwear. I am looking very seriously at Dunlop d60 A2s in the ubiquitous 205/60HR15. Anyone have experience with these and/ or recomendations for tires?

Todd,
I have had both Yoko A509's and D60a2's and will tell you that the
yoko's have a little more dry grip than the Dunlops. But, in the wet and
on a Quattro, the dunlops outperform in every way. Price is actually
better for the Dunlops. Good all season tire. If you have the luxury of
winter rims, than I would say that other options exist for you. If not,
than go with the dunlops.
