Lowering advice please

Post by Nick46 »

Hi guys

I'm new to this forum i've recently bought a 2015 caddy. Was wondering if anyone has used or is currently using the dark side development lowering kit they sell with the h and r lower springs on the front and lowering blocks on the rear.
If anyone could give me advice I would really appreciate it.

Also looking at the eibach lowering kit and was also wonder if it's worth the extra money or not?

I've got the very stuff your talking about. Not yet tackled the rear yet but got the front down a few weeks ago. A nice usable height for me with 19's on, kinda OEM hot hatch look.

Had to buy new front shocks though as the originals were rotten around the top nut, so went with Bilsteins uprated B8's. You may well get them apart no problem but you'll be doing the complete job again in a short period of time as the standard shocks won't last long.

Thank you for the reply
If you don't mind me asking how old was your van for the front too nuts to be rotten? And what are the h and r springs like ?
