I'll have to agree, here. I have the stock suspension on my '95 GLX, and 
have never driven a GLX with anything BUT stock suspension. And I think 
it sucks. It can be very scary, especially on 8h or 9h trips in pouring 
rain through NYC, et cetera. Wallowy, heavy-handed, sluggish, call it 
what you will, but it's definitely NOT safe, in my opinion, at high 
speeds or through the curves. In comparison, I do have a very stiff, and 
lowered suspension on my '84 GLi (Boge and Newspeed), and the difference 
is enormous. I can throw that little go-cart all over the place, and know 
that it will do what I want, go where I want, act how I want. It's a very 
different story with the GLX. VERY different.
Sorry for the WoB.
