Its not a theorem Stan Its based on my own experiences as i've rana few different sets over my ownership period from 18-20's and settled on 19s for looks and comfort but with handling better than 18's, a little worse than 20's but with mainly good road manners.

Lets face it, with 2.6tonnes pushing on any outside wheel in a corner its going to flex no matter how stiff it is  FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's
Mantec Sump Guard, Rigid Load liner, MY10 BT upgrade.

anyway , at least we both agree that the s/c indeed has a firmer suspension than a tdv8 as per OP's question..... ... - .- -.

When I read the "complaints" about the L322 leaning over in the curve I am always wondering a bit because on mine it feels quite little to be really noticeable. Probably because the SC does have a lot firmer suspension. I can't compare it to any of the others though as I have never driven one.

My point is: the SC drives really nice and "flat", feels very planted and confidence inspiring. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

The 2007 AJV8 Petrol has the same suspension as TDV8 but I think the Supercharged continued to be be tweaked to be a little stiffer.

Check the part numbers - diesel is different, NA and Supercharged the same.

As I said "I think" will do more checking

Trommel, to be clear are you saying that in your opinion the 2005-2006 Supercharged had stiffer suspension (they did) but the post 2007 internal facelift Supercharged cars do not?

The 2007 NA petrol has the same suspension as the 2007 Supercharged (same part numbers, whereas, for example, 2006 Supercharged rear shocks are a different part number to the Td6 and 4.4). All the 2007 cars got the thicker anti-roll bars, but the TDV8 has different front struts from the petrol cars. I haven't found any reference to Supercharged-specific suspension parts for the 2007-on cars.

if it was the case that both the 2007 s/c and 2007 tdv8 had the same components , i would have thought the ecu controlling the setup would be different to give the s/c a more 'sportier' drive.. ... - .- -.

So, in theory, is it possible to install S/C rear shocks and the thicker ARB on a Td6 or 4.4 model to assist with the early-model roll characteristics? Si. <This is my name.

I eat rat poison.

A man ain't truly been insulted until he stands buck naked in front of a woman and she didn't even notice. Or care.

pretty sure re the arb but not to sure re the shocks.. ... - .- -.

The suspension ECU basically just tries to maintain a specific height, it can't actively alter roll stiffness or anything like that.

Found this:

Other changes for 2007 include better brakes, a revised suspension, and Land Rover's Terrain Response system. Supercharged Range Rover's will also use an electronic rear differential. The interior was also refined, with optional cooled front seats and more cargo capacity.

I also read that the air pressure in the Supercharged suspension may be higher
