Had the older Bilstein HDs vintage 2009 or so along with the sportchassis (aero) springs, and as many say - it was quite harsh with any performance tire.
BUT - pair that setup with a high performance GRAND TOURING tire like Michelin Primacy MXV4 and MAGIC happens! All the bone-jarring goes away, never any bottoming, even on back roads that seem to be pure SUV territory.
A great handling all-around package that I enjoyed up to the end (and it even died with a pristine, un-scraped front spoiler,no less)
Then I ended up with a V70R - any parking curb would rip off the spoiler, it had enough ground clearance to barely clear a driveway full of acorns, and an adjustable suspension, that would automatically dislocate my spine under any road conditions! Wonderful seats 'tho - they NEEDED to be!
