G55 vs G55K suspension
Hi,
What's the deal with the stiffness of the suspension of the '05 vs the '04 model (with vs without kompressor)? from what I undertand the latter is uncomfortably rough and the firts is very comfortable. Is there a solution for the stiffness of the latter?

I checked with my dealer in Dubai and the only difference between the 2004 G55 and 2005 G55 Kompressor are the shock absorbers. Looking at the drawings, the parts department said that there should be no problem just swapping them. My 2004 G55 has an incredibly stiff suspension, too stiff in my opinion. I have driven a Kompressor, but I was too busy enjoying the engine to try out the suspension. 
Quoted cost of replacing all four shock absorbers was Dhs. 8,200 (US$ 2,200) but they were willing to offer up to a 40% discount on the parts. No idea what they would charge for installation.
