Purchased my 180 last week, or shall I say swapped my Astra Turbo for it.
Needless to say, im glad to see the back of the Astra as it was requiring work 24/7 which I simply grew tired of!
Anyway, Felix (my partner named the car) is my 1st Peugeot after being a Renault associate since being able to drive
Its competely standard, or was till I got to the weekend lol.
Eibach Sportlines

During changing the front over I replaced both drop links and was pretty amazed at the state of the strut top bearings...

Looking at the pictures, could have been slightly lower on the back, but it has dropped a lil more since the weekend


Excuse the iPhone pictures, they will improve
When I picked the car up, it was missing the passenger rear SP arch extension, luckily I work at a Peugeot dealership and we had one upstairs Its off being painted atm.
April the 15th I've booked a trackday at Castle Coombe to put felix through its paces!
Next up for this weekend is front discs and pads, may do the Cambelt also.

Handling wise its brilliant.
Closer to 40mm on the back, the Eibachs are approx 50mm.
Got them from Demon-Tweeks.
