Re: Lowering
Eibach pro if you don't want it to low, decent ride height and still very comfortable,
I have had a few cars on coilovers and they are very harsh in my opinion,
Maybe I'm getting to old !

Re: Lowering
Running 17s at the moment and the arch gap make me angry! Yeah I don't particularly rate them either I just want it to look nice and ride well as its also a works van

Re: Lowering
Me too, I want to lower my 2011 caddy but have leaf springs on the rear. I don't want it too low but just nice and will be putting 18" on it too. Advice on kits & leaf springs very welcome as I'm a caddy newbie. Having bumpers painted at the moment

Re: Lowering
What are peoples thoughts on the lowering kit from VW? Only a 45mm drop, the same as a Sportline I imagine, so far from the slammed look. But, for £330 plus Vodka And Tonic is it worth the money? There is the bonus that any warranty issues in that area shouldn't be effected as its a VW OEM kit.
Has anyone taken this option? I'd like to go lower, just for looks, but at the end of the day the Caddy is still a work vehicle and needs to be fit for purpose.
Its a 2012 102ps
Thanks for any constructive input offered.

Re: Lowering
I think the kit from VW is the Eibach kit. I've recently had it fitted to my van. It's a quality kit and the ride is brilliant. It's improved the looks but if your looking to lose the large arch gap then it's probably not for you.

Re: Lowering
The VW kit is the Eibach kit. I had it on first Caddy and would definitely recommend as a compromise between being slammed or in the clouds! Works well with both 18" and 19" rims too. I'm gutted I can't have it on my Maxi Life, but that's the way the cookie crumbles!!
