SCARRRYY!!!!
I experienced one of the
scariest things ever over the weekend. I drove a GLX with STOCK
suspension! (no disrespect to fellow glx'ers with stock suspension) To
make a long story short.. I got rid of my carrera coil overs and put back
on my stock suspension till the H&R's come in. I have been driving my
car with a performance suspension about 3 weeks after I got it and forgot what
it feels like to drive a stock GLX. On Friday night I had to drive about
30 miles to a friends house to pick up a banner for the VW club, on the way I
almost crashed 4 times! I never knew changing lanes, going on and off on
ramps, and uneven roads could be soo dangerous! I was never soo
scared to drive a car before in my life. It got to the point where I
almost pulled over and called AAA for a tow back home! The car totally has
a different personality.. I hit a bump while driving and turning at the
same time and the car almost jumped totally into the next lane.
SCARY!! even a crappy suspension set up is better than driving a car
stock! spinning out on the freeway while going 95 mph in traffic does not
compare to how scared I was driving the car with stock suspension.
MORAL: forget chips, rims, and
all that other stuff...change your suspension FIRST!!!
btw..I measured the difference
between the stock set up and the height in had the car with the coil overs.. it
was 3 1/4 inches!! The ride quality was still pretty good..
