This is kind of on this subject as it is related to shocks. I have test driven my car with both rear shocks removed. The ride was jouncy with a few large excursions of the rear, but still surprisingly firm as I could feel jarring from the small bumps along the test route I travel routinely. Most notable was that I never experienced bottoming of the suspension. I believe that my experiment points to the need for softer springs on my car as opposed to softer shocks if I want a ride that is closer to that of those fabled Bavarian machines.
