Yes... the M3 was kinda rough down 4th ave around to shore rd. onto Belt east bound to the VZ. The M3 had zero ***** (I didn't feel much Torque, remeber its a 4 liter engine) compared to the C63. The C63 I drove was in PA. up and down hills w/many bumps (which I noticed along the ride) it rode very well... actaully I'd say excellent.
As i said before I'm guessing that the PP will be close to what the M3 felt like, but with the C63 with alot more torque which is where the PP will come into play, a must have for this car... my 2 sense

MB says the suspension is only 10% stiffer
so im sure it cant be toooo much worse than the non PP

2009 C63 K1
I think NEWCARTESTDRIVE.com is full of crap... I bet he's sidding with BMW for some reason $$$, I just drove the 2008 C63 (15 mins) and the ride was very exceptional compared to the 2008 M3 (which I drove about a 7 weeks ago) I know for sure it felt very tight and bumpy, I took it for a blast on the Belt Parkway and I was Not impressed at all. I'd bet to say that the PP will be about the same as the M3 if Not better.

option code P30 (AMG Performance Package)You can order the LSD as a standalone option too, option code 471 (AMG rear-axel limited slip differential). Which I have done for mine, so I get the standard car setup but WITH the Limited Slip Diff and NOT the extra suspension/brake tweaks.
This became available in the U.K. from 1st June 2008.

here is what the website says
AMG high-performance composite brake system with composite brake disc (diameter 360 mm x 36 mm) with 6-piston fixed perforated calliper at front axle, and internally ventilated for optimum weight and enhanced fatigue strength.
