As far as suspension suppleness, my limited experience also placed them in a similar order:
'84 - lithe but brittle/skittish; likely due to its original 27 year old struts & steel control arms?
'88 - once I replaced all 4 struts, nicely compliant but still well-controlled/agile.
'90 - with 12 year old struts, more forgiving but less sharp than my '88.
FWIW...

Thanks for the input and sharing your experience. I have read up on it and I have read that they changed offset for safety reasons, I was wondering if later cars "tramline" less than the early offsets, or what the safety issues could be.
Thanks again for some input.
