I should also qualify that my only reference point for ride quality on the W124 chassis was this car with very bad shocks and struts.

So, I guess you have to take my experience with a grain of salt.

I have however owned many, many cars and I have to say this set up is very good.

Since I have heard it suggested that the W124 was what Lexus was trying to reproduce, I would have to say that mine definitely doesn't ride like a Lexus but it is acceptable and much more predictable than my previous setup.

It does indeed sound like they have made the appropriate adjustments in the product.

This setup is very good.

For the record, I have KYB GR-2 struts up front and KYB Gas-A-Just shocks in the back.
