Dirk - Mine was pretty rough too when I got it in Nov 2010 (I have a 2000 'S'), I remember the day I got it I drove it from the bank where I picked it up to work and the road i drove on had a lot of man hole covers...I was like errrrr this is a rough ride. I replace the front with Bilstein HD and rear Bilstein sport. It firmed up the ride but the bumps were more muted, imho it did take a little bit of driving to get them to soften up but that could just be my imagination. I ended up selling the original shocks since they were still ok.

Observations:

- Empty fuel tank, lighter car rougher ride
- I'm a little guy 165lb and when I add a person to the car I lose power but ride feels better.
- Cold cold cold, car rides so much better over 50 degrees.

I can relate to the feeling your having, if you get a warm day...HA!...see if it is any better. I assume you have had the ride for some time now...if so is this only a recent thing?
