Lowering kit on a Maxi??????

Post by gti-servicing »

Hi guys, fitted a Eibach lowering kit to a customers caddy today, was really impressed with the ride height and comfort.

BUT....

Would this fit my Maxi?

plus where is the best/cheapest place to order from??

Cheers

As far as I know, as long as you have single leaf springs at back it will fit. Try your local dealer and see if you can get discount. My parts guy at VW usually does me some discount.

Fitted to my 2011 maxi with no issues what so ever. Highly recommend the Eibach kit.

Search my post for caddy maxi, my old one had the KW spring kit. Like the Eibach kit but made by KW not by KW for Eibach...

Have lowered mine, no problems. H&R -45 springs on the front, darkside kit and shortend KW (I think) dampers on the rear.

Don't surpose anyone knows the part number for the eibach kit? I ordered the kit off ebay but theyre saying the rear shackle kit wont fit??

my van only has the one leaf spring and looks the same as a normal caddy.

GTI i sure you'll find they say that due to the double rear leafs. The bolts would need to be longer.
