Wooooow...I'm totally flashed...The car is overkill :mrgreen:

I'm also want to pimp my caddy this winter...I live near the nurburgring and want to race from time to time 8) .

I want to swap / upgrade the original caddy brake system in the front against a brake from a golf mk5 gti.

Did you know if the swap is plug and play, or did i need adapters or something?

They did a great job but it wasn't cheap as they have to be hand made due to the complex shape.
If I was going to order lots of sets they would make a dye or something so they would be a bit cheaper.
I'll find out how much they were and post a pic. I've got an orange pair to go on my new van :-)

Hi Matt i bought a set of Vmaxx from you guys, can you tell me the companies name who did the custom coil-springs for you and how much if i may ask?

I still have a pair if you need some.
They are powdercoated black.
I will find out the company name and what I paid for them ;)

I think you would have spoken to my brother, Chris.
I have found the invoice and I paid £60 a spring and it would be £10 to post as they are quite heavy.
According to the invoice they are -30mm from Vmaxx ;-)

As my Orange Caddy has come to a bit of a standstill due to work being busy I decided that I needed to change the blue caddy so I would like driving it again so out with the winter steels and in with some new Rota RM200 9.5x18 ET 45 with 5mm spacers on the front.
Tyres are 225/40/18.
9x18 ET 40 available soon.

Turbo fan style [or the real deal] are definitely back in fashion but have been for a while now. This is one of the first off the shelf wheels styled like this and unlike the real thing, won't require you to remortgage the house!
