Nice motor, Lams! It sure does sit low for a bus. When empty, approx how far from the bump stops is the rear - and did you chop down the stops (if so, how much?)?
If you make everything idiot-proof then evolution will just make a better idiot. I'm very evolved!

I have just ordered the VMaxx kit for the maxi but on checking my van it only has a single leaf either side. Should I change my order to the SWB version?

A big burly bloke gets hold of them,softens them bends them to a new curve and rehardens them. Vola. Once done cannot be redone,also will effect load carrying capacity.
hi
i have lowered my 2.0 tdi caddi maxi with an eibach kit, which has KW rear setup....looks great but i only have around 17cm clearance from the ground to the lowest point of the leaf spring at the position of the hangers . this causes touching on the ground ocassional on some inclines or sunken driveways....is there a fix for this
I have a problem with my caddy maxi 7 seaters, i have lowered it with v-maxx coilovers, and have a problem with my second leaf, they spread to much from my first leaf, så the second touch the speed dumps they put in the road in norway if i drive to fast over them, is there a fix for this problem..
I've had my maxi life lowered for two years now and have never been happy with the rear, I cut my bumpstops right down but still it hits when carrying people, my twin leafs are always touching which after seeing others leads me to believe mine have been overloaded at some time
