Cup or Standard suspension on a 182?

[Joe182]

Hello, first post, looking to buy another 182, in racing blue (obv), was wondering if anyone could tell me if it is worth going for the cup suspension pack over the standard, have a standard atm and it has been fantastic! will i notice any real difference?
i only ask because i prefer the leather/alacantra as apose to cloth interior. i am aware that you could have the cup packs on a standard car but finding one in racing blue is hard! easier to find a racing blue standard or a racing blue full cup spec, not many in between.

Their does seem to be plenty of rb 182 with cup packs, all depends what you want from the Clio. I would say the cup handling is better, but overall apperance is better too. Also you have to remember that the suspension will be five years old, so will need replacing, hence u could go for a 182 with style packs and the refurb the wheels to anthracite or black and get a set of ktec coilovers.

Is it likely that you'll end up upgrading the suspension in the future? ie. lowering springs, coilovers etc.....

You deff want RB? If I was to get another RS which gave an option of colour choice it would be LY.

^^^ Inferno or LY...

to be honest, its mainly going to be a daily driver with track days in the warmer months, so the real question is would you get a noticably better handling in a day to day driving situation between the cup and the standard? like said i could always change the suspension at a later date if the track day side of driving becomes a problem.
also yes i deff want an rb.

Then hold out for a rb with cup packs, you won't regret it over the 182 without cup packs.

If you're interested in track days then cup suspension would better suit you.

ok, thank you. i jus rather like the leather interior, although, was it not an option with the full cup spec car? obv the climate control wasn't?

You get all the same interior, but with better suspension/spoiler. They call it full fat 182. You would regret it I think. Saying that, if you are thinking about coilovers in the future, you'll have more options without the cup packs
