Starting from today, I am going to investigate different suspension setups: springs, shocks / struts, and swaybar combinations to fix the deplorable ride.

IMHO, the best compromise is the E55 AMG suspension, or the "SPORT" suspension. If you can ride in an E55 AMG, or a W210 "Sport" so much the better.
Start with the E55 AMG shocks first, then move to the swaybars, and then the springs. Live with each little mod for at least 2-weeks, also do things as a complete set (e.g., ALL shocks; front AND rear swaybar; ALL springs).
You can also do the E55 AMG bushings, but that will really INCREASE the road feel.
