Hey guys this is a question for all the lads who have lowered there caddy
Iv lowered my caddy on a set of bilstein coilovers, shocks and shackles.. Iv only lowered the back about 60 i think it might be less because I still use for work etc... Iv noticed if I go over speed bumps she's catching just if I slow right down no problem.... Just wanted to know do any of you get this?
It's probably the mud flaps. I've lowered mine 45mm and they caught on everything and bottomed out on dips in the road to the extent the front ones shattered. I look them off and all is good
Mine does it and was the exhaust catching. Move the exhaust out the way cut a notch in the metal and hammer it over job done plus spray dealer to protect the exposed metal
You can lower it on bilstein b8's shortened uprated dampers, a Darkside axel flip and either H&R or Eibach springs. All that will still cost you £750 but you can do it in little bits and replace dampers when they start popping seals.

The ride is great it's nearly as good as standard setup just lower lol very comfortable... Bug difference to my car that's lowered on BC coils
I would say it's Catching on the metal lip above the back box as mine was doing it. Just go on the floor and look under the exhaust and move it up and down and you will see where it is catching it's between the back box and the exhaust tail pipe
It could be your bump stops. If you can't find anything metal that shows signs of being scuffed I'd check the bump stops. Have you cut them down at all?
Small update guys I found out the tyre is rubbing of inner arch so it's hitting of the plastic when going over bumbs... I think because iv lowered it. It's pushed the wheel back a small bit... How do I sort this? Should I higher it up?
