I put HD's on my car, too, and am puzzled by other comments that we read here on this forum that the ride is "harsh". I feel the ride of my W124 completely controlled and acceptable with HD's.

I can only speculate that owner's of these higher mileage cars have become accustomed to the overly soft ride of their car with completely worn-out shocks and struts.
