suspension upgrade now feels like a truck ? 900 1993

I just upgraded the suspension on my 93 945T w/ 120K miles. IPD front and rear sway bars, Bilstein shocks and struts, IPD overload rear springs (I've often need to carry extra weight), and Bridgestone Turanza Revo tires. The results are mixed in my mind. The cornering and body roll are greatly improved. It feels great going through curves at speed and having the body stay relatively flat. I haven't really pushed it yet but the difference is obvious. The day I picked it up I went to one of my jobs and wound up having to transport 2 sets of Baker Scafolds complete with 2 platforms and a double set of wheels. No problem what ever!!, The car handled great! The problem I'm having is with the ride, It feels like a SUV. It hops and jumps over small road bumps or uneven pavement, I live in Jersey so uneven roads are the norm. I came out of the lincoln tunnels the other day and I had to slow way down in order to keep my teeth in my head.

I spoke to IPD (who were very cool) They said they would exchange the Bilsteins for Boges, no problem. That the Boges give a softer ride. But I'm nervous about doing it, cause I just don't know what the result would be. Anybody Have any imput??
