    A little background before I go in to discusion about some mods I am about to under go a big suspension and brake upgrade on my 88 90q. Its been needing alot of this stuff for awhile now and im planning on doing it all in one shot on a lift at work. I have been compliling new parts and re...


    Halfway down the page I see that he shows a difference between the front lower ball joints fitted to B3 20V Saloon and B4 cabbie. It this information correct? I'm looking into methods to lessen understeer in my S2 coupe.

    I think you will find you already have the later type ball joint on your car

    Quick and cheap mod to reduce understeer is a stiffer rear ARB

        What profile on the 225, and also the 245 ?

        17" or 18" ?

        Thanks.
