I don't know who is cheapest at selling them but my only choice from experience and getting my fingers burned by Vmaxx is to go for KW Coilovers mate.

Anything else is a waste of money.

This may be a silly question but does lowering your van effect its towing capabilities ? I would like to have went down the KW route for my new 2011 caddy but I do need to use it for towing a car trailer loaded with a car, so would appreciate anyone opinions, or indeed anyone's experiences with towing.

Thx !

the coilover kits come with rear adjustable drop plates, so you could always raise the rear for towing and its a 10 minute job to lower for weekend cruising dude..
