@Sean1066 if you don't mind me asking, what was the total cost inc fitting for lowering the caddy? Just trying to balance out what's the best option are.

Nothing really exciting but fitted a set of wind deflectors. Surprised how good they look & what a difference they make. Slowly slowly, next a front splitter.

It cost me £395 for the Vmaxx lowering kit.
For the fitting. Cost me £200+ vat.
So in total it was £635
And with the Vmaxx kit I didn’t need centralising plates

@Sean1066, thanks for the reply. The fitting was less than I thought it would be. How long did it take them? I'm torn between springs & a shackle set or coilovers. I don't want to go crazy low & It's more about a decent ride.

Re: What did you do to your van today?
Got it lowered yesterday it went a little bit wrong as the garage had never fitted wheel centring plates, but they sorted it first thing this morning, really happy with how it looks and drives, it’s on stx kit lowest setting 17” wheels £585 for the kit £175 fitting

They had a bit of trouble with mine. (With the front)Billyblunt wrote: ↑Thu Dec 06, 2018 5:11 pm @Sean1066, thanks for the reply. The fitting was less than I thought it would be.

The back was straight forward. I didn’t need the centralising plates as the Vmaxx had it built in
So it to about 6 hours.

Re: What did you do to your van today?
Recently had the rear windows tinted, rear r32 style bumper and exhaust tips fitted.
I also run vehicle wrap firm in Gloucestershire, so expect some crazy colour on this thing come Feburary. We have just done T5.1 camper actually looks great.
Yesterday I managed to get the 19" BBS alloy wheels fitted wrapped in Conti tyres.
Looks great but it's way to high now lol
So i do need coilovers guys, any going ?
