No dilemma guys! My first Caddy had BBS 18s and lowered on eibachs, drove through many a field and never damaged underneath, as long as you take it easy, no worries. I'm getting another Caddy as my boys have started fishing with me and my new one will be eibached!

After 12months of it looking like a monster truck, I finally got round to dropping it...it no longer feels like it's top heavy when cornering!

It's sat a little too low at the moment, I'd like to keep it at this height but I struggle to get into some of the fields I fish in. It needs raising 30-40mm, and I can then get the mud flaps back on.

It also needs a wash.

Standard Vmax coilovers mate like most others. Looking at them photos again above, it's dropped another 10mm or so since fitting them a week ago. This might explain why its now starting rubbing the arches round corners.

I need it another 30-35mm higher as I've grounded a few times :(, would the second from last hole on the rear hangers acheive that?

What height difference do the holes on the rear hangers change it by?

Wow! Settled a lot, bud. May be wrong, but I seem to remember each hole is worth 10mm? Someone will, I am sure, give you a more definitive answer!
