As said, standard is very good mate. You could always get new standard shocks and Eibach proline springs..... The drop is only 10mm iirc and the ride comfort and handling will be excellent.
For springs, I can't recommend my Eibach sportlines highly enough.... They look great, handle great and are very reasonably prices IMO.
Eibach or nothing for me.
Also, 60mm is too much of a drop for the standard dampers..... pretty sure you'll struggle.
They're not 180bhp or 182bhp. Lol.
182 ps is where the name comes from, the engines in both are identical.
^^^ I've also driven both, there's more difference between one 182ff and another than there between a FF / cup packs.
I love random thread revivals. Lol.
Looks definitely take a back seat to performance, if the two can be combined, then brilliant. I have new standard shocks and sportlines, but I want to take it the step further... My main concern is how good the bilstein setup is out of the box, because...
Do not listen to this guy ^^
It's almost certainly not your head gasket. Condensation builds up if you're doing a lot of short journeys from cold.
White 'smoke' is normal at this time of year. Just a consequence of hot gasses and cold, damp outside temperatures.
Different exhaust manifold and a different map.
But no, you can't just use 182 parts (why would you want to?) the exhaust won't fit because of the spare wheel well.
I faced the same decision, test drove 2 182's and a phase 1, then decided on a cup.... If I had to make the same decision now, I'd choose the cup again.
You'll get a beautiful example for that money and have a good wedge in your pocket still.
I'm going on a lightening mission on my car this weekend so will be stripping the bonnet of its unnecessary undersides. Soooo can someone link me to the best place to get aero catches from please?
