Get a decent set of Coilovers, like H&R/KW and the ride is pretty much O.E.
My 197 was bob on, when we fitted them to kevs 200, it felt no different to the Cupped set up according to him!
I want one VERY badly, but cant, bad times :(
Just like my old one sob sob. Love it mate :)
BTW, if its not a GW 200 with black Speedlines, CS wont like it, 42 views, i'm the first to reply. Shame on the CS sheep tbh! :(
Indeed, i wouldn't.
If you 'drive' your car and not pimp about town, don't bother. I ran mine on H&R coilovers for about 18months before trying some spacers, so knew everything about how it felt/reacted (awesome) Fitted some spacers, and it ruined the car. Felt so nervous on the brakes, seemed...

I tend to stick to the Michelin/Conti brands. So therefore, i'm the mug!
Fine mate! Idles better and does pick up better below 5k. Only really wanted it to sort the idle issue, just seemed a little low (well lower than my previous 172/182)
Coupled with decat and inlets, it all helps i suppose :)
