hey!

The back is leaf spring so you need to flip the axel (turn the axel from being underneath the leaf springs to being on top)
this will give you a 60mm drop straight away, problem is that the brackets to do this (standard ones are too weak) don't seem to exist (loads for the mk1-3 caddys!) so the only option for your caddy is Coil overs with adjustable brackets for the back.
start with v-maxx at around £440ish
to kw coilover £1200 to £1500
Fronts lowers from 0 to around 90mm!
back lowers from 60 to around 90mm!

KW V1 kit can be had for around £900 I think, been a while since I got a price but it was in or around that.
