How does your W126 ride???

Ok here is an interesting queston. I think both of mine ride like Model T's honestly. The SDL has a fresh set of Bilstein comforts all the way around with pretty much all new suspension parts. The SD had the front end gone through by the PO about 5 years ago, has Bilsteins as well. Tire pressure 30 in the SD, 34 in the SDL with 225/55/16 tires.

Both ride very stiff you notice every freaken bump, expansion joint everything!

Compared to a W140, W220, XJ8, W210, G35, 3 and 7 series, they don't soak up the bumps and provide that silky smooth ride.

Also don't give me the stiff ride improves handling line, these cars don't really deliver much of what the suspension promises. A W140 will run circles around one in the corners.

Is it a 1980's thing? I don't remember 80's vintage Jags riding like this?
