Re: Quattro Handling???

Well, i do know at least from the list that the 84 has firmer springs.  
But there is a possibility that these tires are a problem.  Is that on 
the stock 14 inch wheel?  If so, i would recommend narrowing the tire, to 
at the most a 205/55 tire...225 is simply too wide for a 6 inch wide 
wheel and will cause ALOT of sidewall flex.  So you might actually be 
experiencing the tires rolling onto the sidewalls really easily...

also, try messing with the firmness settings in those konis...you can 
tweak it a bit....

later...
