Re: My new caddy

Re: My new caddy
Yes and no. Coz I need to know more. I do a lot of county road driving and well pot hole and hard ride. So I need to no if there is a kit that A: does not break the bank and B: does not ride like it’s on concrete blocks.

Re: My new caddy
Never too low! Haha
My wife has said she’s not driving my caddy anymore! I have just put 20” wheels on! And I go mad every time she curbs her 19’s.

Re: My new caddy
As for lowering kits they are not to bad price and ride to be honest, after driving the wife’s car with fk coilovers on, my caddy doesn’t feel as if it’s been lowered. Only noticed a little harder ride going down to a 35 profile tyre on the bigger wheels.

Re: My new caddy
Unsure of makes, bought caddy with coilovers, axle flip and lowering shackles on and set up, only had tracking checked.
It drives lovely, not hard, when 18” wheels fitted was a little low for getting around but the roads are bad in Norfolk

Yeah roads are rubbish here to. I do quite a bit of country road driving. I will have a chat with my performance guy. He does fords but the principle would be the same if it’s slammed in any vehicle I guess.

Yeah honestly it’s so hard to see in the pictures but it makes a massive difference. If I can give a bit of advice if you can get new side pod bits. Where the fog lights go it saves time for the paint guy which saves you money. If your doing it yourself try and invent a sanding tool to get right in the corners coz if you wax like I do it’s hard to get out, and the paint gets pitting effect. My right side has to be done again, which he is doing for free.

Re: My new caddy
Looks awesome! Where did you get the front splitter from? And what headlight bulbs have you fitted? Cheers

Re: My new caddy
Thanks for that I'll locate some replacements and get them to my paint guy. Thankfully we have a spray booth here at work so i don't have to worry about the cost too much .Caddyluv wrote: ↑Tue Oct 17, 2017 6:41 pm Yeah honestly it’s so hard to see in the pictures but it makes a massive difference.
