But out in the country lanes my experience is that it is quite firm enough. There is no discernible body roll and I see no advantage in anything firmer. But I have not driven an R56 with Sports suspension.

Wow, thanks for sharing!!! Did you have the R53??? It sounds as if the SS is just an even stiffer version of the std. suspension.
