In the 35+ years I have been driving, I have never had a set of shocks that felt bad - then got better.
...I've put on "stiff" shocks on cars, hoping to improve "handling",
back in the day, but they never got comfortable and the handling was
hardly improved.

I did some cursory noodling on the web, and many/most sites show the
Bilstein replacement as "heavy duty", yet the Bilstein site shows several
spieces, eg HD, "Comfort", "Sport", et al.

GL to the OP, but I suspect those are going to be firm and "stiff" for quite
some time.
