182 question

[JayR]

Was just wondering, theres so much talk on here about how well they handle etc and i must say iv noticed myself but my question is, if we hit the bendys and roundabouts too much are we likely to f**k our suspension up quickly??

Its always been a thought, im not really a fast driver and only really use the car at weekends but since the car arrived friday i have found that it feels like a right little go kart and could become quite addicted bends

IMHO on stock set up I think that they are fine on bends etc ..

no your not likely to wreck the suspension unless you physically hit things. Shockers burst quite easily though.

Things that used to go more regularly in my 205gti due to being addicted to 'twisties' (not the website...) were drop link bushes popping out all the time and wheel bearings going.

I guess the harder you drive the quicker parts will wear out,same with anything really. Tyres will wear faster,brake pads etc. Standard should last quite a while though i imagine and even if not,covered by 3 yrs warranty.

As with everything there is a difference between use and abuse.

No problems, my suspension a bit soggier now at 60k but I've hammered it accross most race tracks in the UK.

Agree with the above. Enjoy throwing it round some bends!
