The W126's suspension design is to simple and old. Replace all you want it's still going to ride like a 1970's car. I gave up long ago,(also running out of parts to change) now I just enjoy the "vintage" ride.

In the mean time, got a chance to ride around in a 1997 Rolls Royce. My car felt like a Honda compared to that thing. Rolls Royce figured out how to make a car waft, just don't try sport. 6k pounds doesn't corner all that well. But it does waft in a most intoxicating fashion. Also the attention to detail is certianly a few rungs up on Mercedes, well at least the S class. The 600 and Maybach probably compare better.

Brian how does your BMW's ride compare?
