Lowering a 2016 Caddy Maxi Life

Post by kwala »

I am sure this has been asked numerous times, but I am struggling to find a coilover/ lowering solution for a 2016 Maxi Life.

Is there anything available that actually meets the correct axle weights? There is a bilstein kit on darkside, but if you read all the info it does not meet the weight of a Maxi life.

I would rather get something to do it properly once, that also doesn't void my insurance should anything happen.

Any advice or links greatly appreciated.

I also have a mk4 maxi life I was looking on dark side also. I was looking at the ST kit though.

They do state that although they don’t meet the weights unless you are planning on filling up to the eyeballs (not there actual wording) you should be alright weights.

I know, but I would rather something up to the job.

I bought a KW set for my 2018 Maxi. Fits weight for 2.0TDI DSG.

Hi mate

That looks awesome! Do you have any details of the kW kit?
