RE: WHAT AUDI SHOULD I GET...(kinda long)

What's different about the rear suspension on an early '86? The upgrade to
G60's is a simple bolt-on and well worth it. Highly recommend the ATE Power
Disks for this conversion.

I'm not sure I would recommend an '86 5K TQ, only because the early 86 has
the older non-quattro front brakes (single piston calipers), and a different

suspension in the rear.
