Downswing sizes mostly depends on field sizes and roi's, 180's can be brutal.
Any sized downswing is possible with some bad luck and 500+ ones aren't really that uncommon at 180's.
I did some calc's for the chances of seeing various sized downswings with various tourny sizes and roi's. You can see graphs of them via the links on this page here:

How many games I must have to move quietly from the 2,5$ 180 to the 3,5r or the 8$? (btw comes first the 3,5r or the 8$?)
At this moment I have 1750 games played of the 2.5$ with a 23% ROI.
Which the necessary or appropriate bankroll to play the 3,5r or 8$, 300 BI?
Thanks guys
1750 is a very small amont of games to judge your 180 roi by so be a little careful. Your real roi in these games could still be easily anywhere between 5% and 30% though 30% is pretty unlikely these days for any beginner.
With BR management you can push your bankroll more if you are quite willing to drop back down when bad spells hit. You do need plenty for 180's but if you are confident in your game you could use a block of your bankroll to try the $3.5's or $8's and if thing go wrong move back to the $250's before your roll for these shrinks too much. You could keep 200 BI's of $2.5's back and risk the rest on $8's, it depends a lot of your own style, one brm doesn't fit for all players.
It really does depend on your own risk tolerance, try searching/read some BRM posts.
