I guess it is a matter of preference but personally I think riding on a bubble in new cars is uncomfortable. My SD feeds back real nice and I don't like the way new cars feel in corners.

Nobody has ever said my SD is too stiff. If they think its stiff I would just hit a speed bump at speed.

I think my w123 does ride too stiff (but I like the way it feels). I can admit that it is stiff.

But the w126 body? Hmm...maybe compared to new cars...but is it sacraficing handling?
