I seem to think that my rear end on the 1982 300sd is too low. Can you give an opinion?

I have 254,000 miles and assume that the rear shocks, subframe bushings and the rear differential mount have never been changed. It looks low to me. Here are some pics.

I have read every post I can find on the HD Bilstein versus the comfort ride for the rear. I am leaning toward the original comfort ride - but give me your advice. I like the cushy ride, but when I corner hard at high speed, it feels mushy - not firm to me. My wife's 2002 honda accord is super tight in cornering hard. But for a big car, the 300sd takes tight corners at high speed pretty well!

When I shift from Park or Neutral to Drive, she does "hunker down." I am guessing at least an inch or two. Don't have anyone to assist me in measuring hunker down effect with same yard stick.
