89 GXL adjustable suspention, stock?

Well they said it was factory anyways. I was wondering. If I had the TII engine, tranny, drive shaft, Diff and all that mess if the sport suspenion mode on the GXL be like the suspention on the TII. Like if it would be fesable to do the mod and keep this suspention. Just wondering by the way. Not sure if I want to do the TII conversion or not. I need your feedback.
Peace out,
Charles

Damn. I think its neat that the GXL has this adjustable suspension though. What do you think about it dre? Is it any good in your opinion? I haven't driven the car yet.

P.Ps. This would be the test car for the airpump thing. However even if It works, it wont be set up on it for long. I don't want anything bad to happen to the car you know.

Well I think if you run the airpump into the auto-suspension struts, you can raise and lower the car

, cuz we all know that the airpump puts out M@d B00sT y0!

Hehe. yeah funny. This suspension already raises and lowers the car alittle so I don't need the air pump for that.

But seriously I want to know what you guys think of this suspension set up. Is it any good?

I have an 89 GXL with AAS with a complete t2 drivetrain/etc in it. I've driven it a total of 4 feet, and it handled like a dream, oh damn I forgot I didn't have to turn the wheel. God damnit I wish it would run

Anyway, my AAS still works, not sure what it's like though

No, those items have nothing to do with the suspension. The GXL suspension was the soft suspension, while the T2, GTUs, and 'verts had stiffer swaybars and shock valveing.

Not quite understanding what you are asking. A T2 conversion has nothing to do with the AAS.

Well what I mean is that is the "sport" suspension set up enough to have the turbo in there going hard around a corner with out feeling nasty. and sloppy.
