Suspension is the same as the Dynamic Pack (and, interestingly, the 2008 4.2 R-S) - 28% stiffer front, 32% stiffer rear. Greater camber stiffness, too, because of a modified front upright. If you're used to a standard XKR, it probably feels more like an F-type. It can jar a bit on potholes, but it's great of smooth tarmac - no roll, sticks like glue.
Not as objectionable as a Nissan GT-R, though - those shake the teeth out of your head, even in 'comfort' mode.
